S - Scripture
2 Samuel 3 v. 16 But her husband (Palti) went with her, weeping after her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go, Return." And he returned.
O - Observation
Goofed up situations. This verse is in the middle of a very Goofed up situation. Here, David is trying to make a covenant with Abner the son of Saul. Saul is trying to kill David. Saul is pissed off at Abner. And... Saul gave away Michal, his daughter to another man, even though she was married to David. 1 Samuel 25 v. 44a, "Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Lassh." Not a wonder her husband was crying. He was getting ready to meet David, the original husband, and a great warrior. This story really reminds me that People's lives are messy. They can be complicated and fraught with conflict. But, there is great news. Jesus came to this world to unmessy the mess. We just need to call upon him.
A - Application
Am I trying to fix my own goofed up situations without calling upon the Lord?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Save me from my goofed up situations. Love Will
