2 Samuel 22: David sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. 2 He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence. 4  I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. 5  “The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me. 6  The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. 7 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.

I was reading this scripture and I think... so often people say how their life falls apart after they get saved.. they get all these problems and stuff... and I think about my own life.. I had A LOT of drama and problems before I gave God 100% of my life.. and since I have.. problems have melted away.. now lets not imagine that the occasional issue doesn't arise.. surely it does.. actually today at work I have been very stressed out because I am making important people mad completely without meaning to.... 

but that is nothing compared to what I have lived in the past... 

I was reading earlier in scripture that God provides for us.. now that is TRULY my reality!! praise the Lord!! but what about people who really are homeless.. or have no food or clothing.. can't get a job... does this mean God is not providing for them? does it mean He doesn't love them? I don't believe so.. 

if there is one thing I have learned since giving God my all it is that I am no more special than everyone else.. although I previously had that illusion! now I know that God loves us all.. 

so why do some people have these terrible things? have I already lived enough terrible that God decided it was time for me to have a life of peace? I pray that is true... 

what I do know for sure is that God is good regardless of what I have or what I see... I am so thankful for the life He has given me I don't even have the words to exclaim it properly!! 

I pray your life is good like mine is.. I pray that you focus on what you do have rather than what you don't have.. I pray that you see things from the positive rather than the negative.. I pray that you give God 100%.. it has truly changed me and my life..
