December 4, 2012 – 2 Samuel 24

I didn’t understand why taking a census was so bad so I looked at a couple of things.  Basically, no one has a great answer because a reason is not really given, but they guess it was David’s motivation.  The reason to get a census is to tax or go to war.  David either wanted to know how much money he was going to bring in or how many soldiers he would have, both go towards David not trusting God but wanting to rely on himself.
