Unstoppable

This was, as the devotional contributor mentioned, sort of a dark passage to comment on.

"...and they told Saul and the thing pleased him.  Let me give Michal to David that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him."  

Job 42 about how no purpose or plan of God can be thwarted came immediately to mind.  Try as Saul might to scheme the situation, God's purpose prevails.  Things may appear advantageous/disadvantageous to us through circumstances, but it's God's (beyond what I can imagine) loving plan that stands.

God Almighty, give me peace and an unwavering hope in Your promises, especially when things appear to be a mess.  Help me to seek Your will in Your way - with love, humility, thankfulness and surrender. Your plans are unstoppable!
