Here’s an Old Testament plague story. King David knowingly disobeyed God, and there were consequences–with a limit set by God:
1 Chronicles 21:14-15 (NIV)
So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead . . . the Lord saw it and relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.”
The angel hit the pause button.
Let this be enough, Lord! Hear our prayer, in Jesus’ name.
