Looking for an excuse? – 1 Chronicles 21
March 3, 2013 - 1 Chronicles 21
Dear Saints,
Today we
prayerfully Feast in 1 Chronicles 21.
In today’s Feast we see David influenced by Satan, take a census. God gives King David three choices for the payment
price of this sin. David chooses God to extract the price of his sin. “28 At that
time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of
Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord,
which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were
at that time in the high place at Gibeon, 30 but David could not go before it
to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.”
1 Chronicles 21:28-30, English Standard Version (ESV). Even after God extracted the price of this
sin, David was afraid to go past the angel. Why do you think this is? I
believe it was because David didn’t know the mind of God. “For my thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For
as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV. This is the reason many people are afraid of
Jesus. They don’t understand who he is
let alone why the price of sin requires payment. I’ve heard many people saved and otherwise
claim that; “Satan made me do it!” The
fact that Satan is there constantly insinuating that sin is beautiful, funny or
cute does not excuse sin. Nor does it
excuse the price for sin. Sin may look
great at first but I can assure you it is spiritual cancer. We have two choices either we die in sin or
we accept God’s gift of salvation! The
price that Jesus paid is payment in full. If you haven’t accepted Jesus I suggest you
ask God (pray) how to do it. If you
have accepted Jesus you need to be there to interpret a sinner’s cry for
salvation. Let your light shine and
you will never be looking for an excuse.
In the process of letting your light shine you may be responsible for
another saved soul.

way and have not turned aside.” Job 23:10-11 ESV.
