Reading for today: 1 Samuel 23:24-29 and Ephesians 2:11-13
“But a messenger came to Saul, saying, ‘Hurry and come, for the Philistines have
invaded the land!’” 1 Samuel 23:27
Uh oh, it’s all over for David. He and his men are completely encircled. The noose is tightening, and yet we see the word “but” again. Even though it doesn’t say “but God,” it is implied, and God’s fingerprints are all over this one. No coincidences in this universe. From Saul’s perspective this is, “a man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” From David’s perspective this is, “everything works together for good to those who love God.” May we also love God like David!
