In baseball, Curveballs are two things- a.) unexpected and b.) meant to make things harder. In the bible, there are all kinds of stories about unexpected things happening to people, and often times that makes things harder. However the overall story of the bible is very unexpected, but it has the opposite effect. The story of the bible is an unexpected, unmerited action that results in overwhelmingly good news. As we begin a few weeks looking at the life of King David, we can see how sometimes the unexpected is, in fact, a very welcome thing. And what makes this so unexpected is because we have done so little to deserve it.
