1 Chronicles 21:1-17David knew that Joab was right – that taking the census was wrong – but he decided to do what he wanted anyway. The result was that thousands paid for David’s presumption with their lives. God gave David a choice between three possible punishments. David chose to fall into the hands of God, because he knew God would be merciful. We always pay a price when we know something is wrong and yet choose to do it anyway.
LORD, give us enough sense to run from wrong choices.
