122 The sun rises on both the good and the bad. Our God is superintending our world. No accidents, Special supervision. Divine execution. Gracious provision. Undeniable grace. Providence is working,
Psalm 56:1 "Take my side, God" ---- He is on our side. Always.
Saul kills the innocent priests of Nob. 1 Samuel 22:18-19. The sun rises on both the good and the bad. God was moving for David even when it looks bad. God's grace and providential care are extended to all people regardless.
There's a verse in yesterday's reading that so made me wonder: God detained Doeg so that he knew where David was. Otherwise, Doeg would have never been able to tell Saul of David's whereabouts. Saul pleads in front of Doeg: None of you feel sorry for me. None of you disclose that my very own son is stirring up David against me. So, turn and kill all these priests of God who helped David. And the King's servants say unequivocally, "No!" So, Doeg does it. The man God detained to spy on David. Not only does he kill 85 men of the cloth but an entire city of Nob for the shelter provided David. Fast Forward to the New Testament Luke 22:1-2: the religion scholars were trying to do away with Jesus and at the same time they were looking to cover their tracks---Judas found the high priests.
How could David possibly feel when he learned of the news that people were dying because of him?
How could David possibly feel when he learned of the news that people were dying because of him?
How could Judas possible feel when he realized Jesus the Lord would die because of his betrayal?
Father, may we see that nothing happens by chance in your government. What appears as good. What appears as evil. You are superintending your world. No accidents. Just a Special Supervision. Divine Execution. Gracious Provision. May we live this day under your Gorgeous Grace.
