When you discover that you are only but human, who have been relishing in fame and success thinking that you are not human; when life has brought out your weaknesses and reduced you to nothing; then the best place to surrender is in the hands of the Almighty God. David was faced with a similar predicament when he had carried out a census in Israel against God’s will: 1 Chronicles 21:9-13 “ 9 The LORD said to Gad, David’s seer, 10 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’ ” 11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Take your choice: 12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD —days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me.” 13 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.” David chose to fall in the hands of God
