1 Samuel 18

Things change in life, and often seem like they are spiraling out of control.  Such was the case with David and his relationship with king Saul.  David could do nothing right in Saul’s eyes.  His friendship with Jonathan, his reputation as a warrior, his music, his marriage to Michal, his success against the Philistines – everything that David did just made Saul angrier.  Tension was increasing, but things were not really out of control.  God was in control.

LORD, you are LORD of our stressful lives.  May we stay tuned to your presence, and trust your plan.
