š Read: 2 Samuel 3:14
āThen David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, āGive me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.āā
Years had passed since Michal last saw David. She had built a new life with Paltiel, yet David demanded that she be returned to him. This was more about politics than loveāDavid was securing his position as king, and Michal was part of that plan.
Imagine how confusing and painful this moment must have been for her. Once again, Michalās life was being controlled by others. What once began as love now felt more like obligation and power.
Her story reminds us that when people treat us like pieces in their plans, God still sees our worth and heart.
š You are not a pawn in anyoneās gameāyou are Godās beloved, with purpose in His plan.
ā Reflection Question:
Do I sometimes feel overlooked or used by others? How can I rest in knowing my true value comes from God alone?
š Prayer:
Lord, when others fail to see my worth, remind me that You do. Help me to walk in confidence, knowing I am loved and chosen by You. Amen.
š¬ Your Turn:
Share how God has reminded you of your worth when others didnāt see it. šø
