“Michal loved David” [I Samuel 18:28(NIV)]
May 8
“Michal loved David”. Michal was Saul’s younger daughter and this must be counted as one of the outstanding love matches of the Old Testament.
Saul really wanted to do away with David but two things stood in his way. First, the obvious way the Lord was with David and secondly the genuine love that Michal had for him. Read in the next chapter how she saved David’s life, letting him down through a window to escape the murderous designs of Saul her father.
Michal’s part was small but significant. Her marriage to David was forged on the altar of true love and its aim was the glory of the Lord in the outworking of God’s purpose.
Her love for David held when he had to flee, her part was important in establishing David on the throne.
