No magic formulas in this galaxy. Chron 27:23 ~ David learns to never "count" his kingdom again. Yesterday, it was Satan standing up to move David.. Today, it's David standing up to say, no more. And Joab decides to "count" his people and Israel paid for it, big time.
There's a mess I'm right in the middle of---counting sheep---and parts of me say, "No More."
Yet parts of me keep mulling over the current scenario ... and I wonder why I cannot get it off of my mind.
And God knew I would be reading this passage, while this incident reads my mind through my waking day.
And in chapter 27, what happens that pertains to this "thorn in my flesh?" Found: Mighty Men of Valor. O God, that's it. I want to be found mighty in You not mighty in society. I Chron 26:32~ found trusting, not found wanting: for every matter that concerns God! So what if Satan sends incessant thoughts all day. They have no home here. Wisdom! Courage! Strength! Holy Energy! Constancy of mind! God is moving powerfully in my weakness.
