51vK90XiXDL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_Last week I talked about Bathsheba, David’s beloved wife. Before Bathsheba, David had a few other wives including Michal, his first wife. What can this first wife teach us?

 

David made preparations and sallied forth with his men and slew two hundred Philistines. He brought back their foreskins and counted them out before the king that might thus become the king’s son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter, Michal in marriage. Saul thus came to recognize that the Lord was with David: besides his own daughter, Michal loved David. (1 Samuel 18: 27-28, NAB)

 

Introduction:

Michal was a naive teenager willing to go along with her father’s manipulations to marry the man she loves. Blinded by her immature love, she does not see her father’s lack of concern for her feelings or David’s disregard for her. As she gets older, her eyes are opened to the shenanigans of her father and David. She becomes bitter and disillusioned. She rejects God and her husband and spends her remaining days a very unhappy woman.

 

Conclusion:

The men betrayed Michal in her life. She felt let down and helpless and her mistreatment by men made her bitter. Unlike Leah, she did not

Sometimes painful life events crowd out our awareness of God and his love. Michal like us felt justified in bitterness. In truth, there is no justification for bitterness. We need to give up our bitterness to God and then the Holy Spirit can work in us.

 

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, help me to be less like Michal and more like Leah.

Help me avoid bitterness and look toward you as I move through painful

life events.

When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband had died, she mourned her lord. But once
the mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her into his house. She became
his wife and bore him a son. But the Lord was displeased with what David had done.
“The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: You shall not die. But since you have utterly
spurned the Lord by this deed the child born to you must surely die.” Then, David
comforted his wife Bathsheba. He went and slept with her; and she conceived and bore
him a son, who was named Solomon. The Lord loved him… (2 Samuel 11:26-27, 12: 13
14, 24, NAB)

In Bathsheba, we again encounter a woman who had very little control over the

turned to God and God rewarded her with a son who would be the next king.
Several years ago, my daughter did something that went totally against everything
I believed and thought I had taught her. I thought I was responding in love and doing all
the right things in response to the situation. Then a few years ago, I had a metanoia
moment, when I realized I had forgotten the most important thing. I had not forgiven her,
I had not forgiven myself and I had not asked or given God forgiveness. Although life
had moved on there was still blackness in my heart. I had to forgive and ask forgiveness.
Only then could I move on to true love and compassion.
