1 Chronicles 17-21 covers David's kingdom, from his desire to build a temple, to his evil (yes, evil) plan to take a census. Some of this we have recently covered in 1 Samuel. However, some is worth repeating. 1 Chron ch 17 v 16 talks about God blessing David and his descendants. "Who am I, O Lord, that you have brought me this far"? We have a God who cares and is involved in our lives. He will not force himself on us.
God demonstrates His righteousness in ch 21, where he punishes Israel for David's census. Even Joab, the king's military commander, warned David not to do it. Who has God put in your life today to warn you of the dangers you will face? How will you know to listen to them? Are you prepared?
