Why... (update)

This is just a second quick post about what I posted on earlier today concerning testing Gods promises. I thought it easily connected with my earlier questions - though it still doesn't answer 'why'.


I found a discussion in which a man named Conner mentioned a problem he'd faced recently.

Conner: "I did battle with sin recently and it was all about my trust in God. I was plagued for a time about losing my wife in childbirth. I discussed it with Troy, who challenged me by reminding me that this is when our faith is defined.
I was all ready to talk to the doctor, to gain some type of assurance that my wife is healthy and the risks are low, but then I realized that I don't want peace from that source. I want peace because of God's character. I want peace because of who God is, how much He loves me, and His perfect plan for my life."

I wonder if David struggled against trusting the official tally of numbers, rather than Gods simple promise?

You know he did.

The decission made from the struggle is the act of faith . . . .
