Real Hope: TrustSample
Trust
Safe to say the final chapter of 2 Samuel is not the first place you rush to when searching the Bible for ‘trust’. Still, there’s a memorable example of it amid the notable, strange events near the end of King David’s turbulent life.
Having conducted a military census, David’s guilty conscience prompts him to seek God’s forgiveness (v10). God tells David to choose what will happen next. The distressed king asks to ‘fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great’.
David trusts God to be God. When next we are tempted to trust more in people than the One who made them, return to the simple potency of 2 Samuel 24’s declaration of considered trust.
