Lots of information there for you. We're going to be reading from the ESV by Crossway translation today, but before we begin, let's go ahead and pray. Our Father who are in heaven, Hallowid be your name. That is us declaring your holiness. That's us saying you are God Almighty. You are set apart, so much greater than anything that we could ever experience here on this earth

and throughout our lifetime.

You are greater than our battles.

You are greater than our struggles.

Open up our eyes, to see you, our ears, to hear your voice, and also our hearts just to have that good soil so that when you plant the seed, Lord, it will be able to be cultivated and it will be able to bear fruit. Help us also to forgive others, anybody we might be holding a grudge against, anybody that we have anxiety over, or even any situations, God, that we're holding on to, help us just to set it free today, to let it go, to place it at your throne, and just trust that you are going to do something with it. We give you full permission today. That means we surrender. It doesn't mean that you need our permission, but it means that we want you, Lord, to be able to do what you need to do within our spirits, within our character, to make us the best people that we can be, the ones you've

created us to be. So we thank you for this time together. Bless your people today, Lord,

every single person who is here. Thank you that you've brought them here by divine appointment.

We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen. So we thought we heard the last words of David the other

day, but we continue his narrative today in 2 Samuel chapter 24,

verse 1. Again, the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against

them, saying, go number Israel and Judah. Now, if your translation has a capital H on this
