Week9
2 Samuel
”David returned to bless his household, but Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet him. She said, “How the king of Israel has dignified himself today, exposing himself this day in the sight of his servant’s slave girls like one of the rabble might shamelessly expose himself.” Then David responded to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me over your father and over everyone in his household, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. I was celebrating before the Lord. I will humble myself even more than this and be abased in my own eyes. But by the maidservants, of whom you have spoken, I will be held in honor.” Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.“
2 Samuel 6:20-23 MEV

Jesus Take The Wheel
What have you been thinking about lately?
Are your thoughts steering you towards the ditch or in reverse?
Do you remember the popular song,”Jesus Take The Wheel”?
That is very good advice, but sometimes hard to do. Anyone else have 1 eye on Jesus and 1 finger glued to the steering wheel?
Just as Michal allowed her thoughts to steer her tongue into grave trouble and the death of her womb, we also are in danger of steering our soul into darkness.
David’s heart was filled with humility towards God.
The first step in letting go of control is to fix our thoughts on Jesus by paying close attention to what we are looking at.
It takes a humble heart to actually let Jesus take the wheel.
