Even Through Generations of Glitches

[S] Matthew 1:5-6 --
 ⁵Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. ⁶Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah.

[O]  The generations these two verses cover reveal what appears to be "failures" to the plan of God for bringing His own Son to this world in His purest form of God let alone a Jew because Rahab and Ruth were not Jews and Bethsheba didn't really take a legitimate route of becoming a queen.  This was a period of back-to-back glitches leading to the birth of King David.  And he almost didn't get picked as the anointed one when Samuel visited his family because his father ruled him out as one of the possibilities for being just a boy.  However, despite all this God's plan still came through without a hiccup.

[A] Even when things seemed to derail from the plans set forth, I need not to focus too much on the failures but need to turn to Him for His guidance through those tough times.  If He reveals my faults in that, then I need to repent and correct my heart but need to be sensitive to His voice about the hope and peace when all I have to do is to persevere through it to see the glory of His plans unfolding.

[P] Dear Father, I want to recognize that You are in full control regardless of how I may interpret circumstance I'm in leading to the recognition of Your ultimate plan coming through.  There are so many times in a day when my mind would doubt Your plans so I want to work on more of letting those thoughts go in order to believe in the hope that has been promised by You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
