Contemplation (verse 10)
Probably one of the best of David’s attributes was that, once he realized his error, he did not try to cover it up or to justify it to the Lord; but in the simplicity of heart, together with plainness and hope, he quickly cried out and confessed his sin, with no hesitation: “So David said to the Lord, ‘I have sinned greatly in what I have done; But now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have done very foolishly” (2 Samuel 24: 10).
+ Fr Tadros Malaty

Personal Reflection: Why do you think that it was a sin for David to number the people? Why did he ask to number the people? 

Bible Knowledge Question: When given the choice for his punishment, what did David choose?

Prayer: Lord, help me to rely on You, and to trust in You, and not rely on my own ability or understanding.
