Day 96 | 2 Samuel 21–24 — Let Your Hand Be Against Me — David’s Census, His Confession, and the Altar That Points to Jesus | Bible in a Year

Every house comes with the last owner's unfinished business. David pays off an oath Saul broke, writes a psalm about clean hands more complicated than it sounds, and then does something that has nothing to do with trust at all — he counts his own army, just to feel the weight of what he's built. When the consequence lands, David finally offers what he's never truly offered before: himself, instead of his people. Let your hand be against me.Here we consider pride, self-reliance, confession, sacrifice, and the altar that quietly points toward the cross.
