Michal

michal... the daughter of saul.. given to david as a wife.. the bible tells us that she loved david and saul was pleased.. saul.. who was king.. gives his daughter to david as his wife... david must have wanted her pretty badly as he killed 100 philistines and brought to saul their foreskins as the price for the bride... basically.. he bought her with the lives of 100 of the enemies men...she must have loved him in the beginning because she helped him on to escape her father trying to kill him when he was in his jealous rage...

they were separated for a while because david fled.. but he went back for her... I wonder what happened during the time they were separated... because you hear nothing more until David brings the ark into Jeruselum and the bible tells us that michal is watching from the window and she depises him in her heart..

david was in the street... praising the Lord... thankful for the ark being brought into Jeruselum because the ark represented the presence of God.. so this was bringing God back with him.. of course he was praising and very happy... look how we act when we get in the presence of the Lord.. but michal was angry that he was our in the streets taking off his clothes and causing women to look at him... now in the natural.. if my husband were in public drawing attention from females to himself.. of course I can understand her anger.. but this is not natural.. it is spiritual... and he didn't even consider the people around him.. as far as David was concerned.. the only two there were him and God... and he just got caught up...

the cost.. she was never to have children... that was the price she paid for the way she spoke to the man in authority over her...

he was coming home to bless his household... her.. he was coming home to bless HER and she meets him at the door with harsh words and jealousy... and he returns her harsh words.. and she is cursed... we expect the one we love to rejoice with us.. yet sometimes.. they are so caught up in their own thoughts that they cannot see yours...

I wonder what happened during the time of separation that caused her to seem as though she no longer loved him... how often do we harden our hearts toward the one we are in covenant with... and then we divorce.. we walk away.. we take on foreign men and women.. all because we did not keep the love alive within our heart during a time of separation...
