“And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.”
- 2 Samuel 24v14
For David’s sin of counting the people he was given a choice of punishment. He could have three years of famine, three months on being chased by the enemy, or three days of plague from God.
He knew his answer. He decided to through himself on God’s mercy for God is more merciful than man. The punishment was great, but David was still willing to trust God in the matter rather than to trust man.
Even though David knew that he would be punished he knew that God’s judgement would be just. Do we always trust that God will be just? Whenever God acts we must have the faith to believe that He is doing what is right. Are we willing to fall into God’s hands?
