Checking our spiritual compass while navigating through the Lord's will is a good idea. We want to suffer because of the Gospel, not because of a self-inflicted wound. 2 Samuel 24:1-10 gives us a rare opportunity to look inside of a king's heart. What can King David's mistake teach us today? Most of us understand the sin of going against God's word, but like David, we might not realize the sin of moving forward in this life without God's word.
