How much does the Lord love His people, the Israelites? He would use the enemy to discipline them, and yet He would make sport of the enemy once their job had been completed. It is sort of a crazy story, but the heartbeat of the Lord was for His people...always. And it hasn't changed today because He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore...which simply means, He loves us so much that He will discipline us the way that He thinks best, but that He would pull us closer to His chest because of how much He loves us. Isn't that comforting really? In this chapter, He is going to let the Philistines have it because they have not played well with His people. He loves and protects us and He desires that we run to Him and not run toward the evil schemes. We just run to Him and He will take care of our business...that is beautiful to think about. Run to Jesus!
He that loves you with an infinite, unchanging love, is leading you by his Spirit and providence...Jesus knows your way. - Robert Murray McCheyne
