"And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel." (2 Samuel 24:25)
The context of this verse describes the occasion when King David had sinned by displaying an attitude of self-sufficiency. The evidence was his determination to number the people and thus validate his assumption that Israel was strong because of their populace.
While God regularly used people to accomplish His work, He never intended for people to become self-sufficient.
David did come to his spiritual senses and humbly acknowledged his sin (2 Samuel 24:17). He submitted to the Lord's demands to address his sin. He offered the appropriate sacrifices.
Thus we see the precious long-suffering of God: "So the Lord was entreated for the land."
At this time when our nation is experiencing such turmoil and anguish, I invite us to turn to God, obey His demands and pray that He will be entreated for our land.
Would you join me in this prayer?
