On Day 97 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we conclude 2 Samuel with chapters 22-24. David’s song of deliverance celebrates God’s faithfulness, followed by a record of his mighty men. Yet, his census sparks divine judgment, blending triumph with a sobering reminder of human frailty and God’s sovereignty.Questions:1. David’s psalm in chapter 22 exalts God as his rock and deliverer—how does this theological portrait of God as both transcendent and personal shape our understanding of His relationship with His people across redemptive history?2. The exploits of David’s mighty men in chapter 23 highlight human valor under divine enablement—how might this interplay deepen our reflection on the balance between God’s power and human responsibility in fulfilling His purposes?3. David’s census in chapter 24 incurs wrath, yet his intercession averts total destruction—how does this episode challenge us to grapple with the theological tension between God’s holiness, human sin, and the mediatorial role that foreshadows Christ’s atonement?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
