Has anyone else done this?

Like many others, I would come to a particular situation or series of events and would say to God, "Why did this happen, and why did it have to happen the way it did?" Has anyone else done this?

Having no one else to go to, I turned to God, for that is all He wanted me to do anyway.

He then began to reveal to me other events which took place. Events I did not see or recognize for I was overly focused on what was happening to me. In other words, I was missing out on the bigger picture. Then, He spoke a Word in my Spirit.

For two years I have been repeatedly drawn back to studying David, for his early childhood, throughout His Kingship.

As you know David, was a great man, and did many great things, however he still had some issues. One, referred to in our scripture reference, tells us the story of David and Bathsheba. Now most of you know the story so I wont bore you with the details, but please note, David did all he could to save the baby. He fasted, prayed, wore sackcloth, sat in ashes, and more. He did all the "right things", however the baby still died. You see God judged the sin he had committed, with the death of the baby. David had to learn to fully depend upon God. In doing so, the King, survived and went on to be Israel's mightiest earthly King.

What am I saying to you?

Sometimes you have to go through some things and they still have to die. But in their death, if you learn to trust in God fully, the King in you will survive. Who knows what you are destined to do next!
