"God Takes Care of His People"

PSALMS 105
What ever you think that you know about this life and all of the pain that comes with suffering through it, you don't know anything till that pain and suffering becomes a blessing, a sweet aroma to the LORD. I know, you probably think that I have lost my way, or on the verge of some kind of a mental breakdown. But it has meant more of a blessing for me to accept the pain with gratitude, then it would have been to look negatively upon it, as though I were suffering through something. It is really all about a frame of mind, a frame of mind that comes from the comforting of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I think we don't want to be comforted, so we won't even consider changing our frame of mind; almost as if we just want to sit there and feel sorry for ourselves, as if all of this should not be happening to me. It is hard to count it all joy, when it hurts to even think about it. Now, you can't tell me that this Psalms does not belong after the last one, because until you understand that God is the Creator who holds onto your life, then you really cannot come to terms with the fact that He cares for you! The history of the children of Israel is meant to show us something special about God's care for His people; and if are one of His people, then you are included in that history; which is His Story! If you think hard enough about it, all of your pain and suffering does not compare to the awesome and glorious life that is to come; that is, if you absolutely believe that it is coming. Maybe the frame of mind you have is fixed on your problem because you can't fix it on anything else? If that be the case, I have one very important suggestion for you: READ YOUR BIBLE!!! You cannot expect to be firmly planted in the Truth if you are not getting the Truth firmly planted in your heart. There are lessons in there that you need to be schooled in, and they belong to no one else but you. So, hearing those lessons from someone else, or getting someone else's point of view, those really don't count as much as the lesson intended for you...
"King Nebuchadnezzar sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: "Peace and prosperity to you! "I want you all to know about the miraculous signs and wonders the Most High God has performed in me. How great are his signs, how powerful are his wonders! His kingdom will last forever, his rule through all generations."" (Daniel 4:1-3) NLT
