Unintended Consequences?

 

Today's verse is Psalm 52:9

     I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it:

      And I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

    Because thou hast done it. What is it that was done? This Psalm was written in response to what Sual had done to the seed of Eli, the disobedient High Priest. David even recognized his own quilt in this evil act. Yet, we have been told that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The world sees, and the world knows that all of our actions have consequences, both by our intent, but also going beyond to those things that we did not intend, of which we could be held accountable. But here, it appears that David had learned, and so passes to us, that with God there is no unintended consequences, but that he has done as he has pleased according even to his Word, and we that are in Jesus Christ are spared from the Judgment of these things. Amen.

To God be the Glory
