📖 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people. - 2Sa 24:2 No matter how much wealth we have accrued. No matter the number of servants and livestock we have amassed. Our trust must not be in them but to remember the Lord who gives us the power to make wealth. David forgot that with 400 vagabonds ( 1 Sam 22:1-2) he won battles and began numbering Israeli troops when the wars had subsided!
