But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king...and they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken.
There's just no escaping the will of God. God enticed this king to go on a suicide mission into battle. Now its hard for me to wrap my mind around God saying and doing this kind of stuff, but then I remember how evil this king was. The wages of sin is death. Plain and simple. When God says you've messed up there are always consequences.
I suppose the good news here is that God doesn't plan for our consequences quite so early - or at least He doesn't appear to be. Though I make mistakes, I never feel abandoned to be struck by innocent arrows or people. I do feel like I have to Lord as my sheild, keeping me from harm.
Lord, I praise You for Your goodness. I praise You that You only desire good for Your children. I know the plans You have for me are wonderful. I pray I would listen to You voice and follow in Your ways. No turning back.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
