Consider this for a moment, in a moment of pride, King David defied the will of God and took a census of Israel. God’s Word says that David’s heart was troubled and then he confessed his sin to God. God then told David what his options were. In the end, 70,000 died for David’s sin. Can you imagine the weight on David’s heart? His sin cost 70,000 lives! I think if David would have accepted Araunah’s offer to supply the necessary items for David’s sacrifice, it would have been utterly and completely rejected.

‘No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God which costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.’2 Samuel 24:24

Bring Me, Lord, to Where I Must Be
On this road to revival of our own hearts it is important to understand one thing. Revival begins with a heart that is humbled before the Lord our Maker. Revival is not merely the awakening of heart, soul, and mind to the moving of the Holy Spirit, it is coming in repentance to the Judge of all men and bowing before Him in humility and subjection. Far to long we (the Church) have endured sin. We have tolerated it. We have coddled it. We have embraced it. Far to long we, as individuals in the church, have done the same. (More)

I was planning to write something else today; however, my thoughts were directed in this avenue today. Men, if I have offended you with the comment of “milk toast, muffin eating, tea toddling mouse of a man” – then good. If you want to reach through the screen and throttle the nut case who wrote those words, great. But before you attempt all that, let me say something (I understand that you are not required to read past this point and read my opinion).

What is missing from Thyatira?
But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bondservants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. Revelation 2:20

Have you ever played those games where you have to determine what is missing in the pictures given to you to look at? It is pretty easy to pick out what is missing when there are four or five pictures. But, when you have a lot of pictures to look at, it is easy to miss what is different.

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,’ and you do not know that you hare wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.”
Revelation 3:17
Hans Christian Anderson tells the tale of an emperor who lived for new clothes. He unwittingly hired two swindlers to make him a fantastic suit of clothes worthy of the emperor. It was to be a magical suit that was invisible to a man unworthy of his office but displayed in splendor and beauty on those of great worth. This, of course, appealed to the emperor’s pride. When the day came that the emperor’s new clothes were ready, he “put” them on and paraded through the city streets in the new “clothes.” All the people marveled at the new clothes until a wise child cried out, “But he has nothing on at all.” (More)
