That's My King

Have you ever wondered why on earth has God put you in the situations you are in? I do. A lot. I know I shouldn't, but I know that, because I am human, I want to know everything about why things happen, how they happen, and when they happen. There have been many times in my life when I just couldn't see how God could let these things happen to His child. But then I looked at the life of Job. He never once complained. He lost his entire family, his home, his friends, his health.... everything. But he never once blamed God. He praised God. Why can't I do that? I mean. Job was human, yet he chose to do the right thing. I just want to beat myself over and over again everytime I think that I deserve to know why things happen to me. As you know, well, if you didn't then you do now, my dad died before I was born, so y'all see where I became bitter. I didn't have my dad there. HE WASN'T THERE!!! He was never there. I thought to myself over and over again of why and how he could do this to me. I hadn't even met the man. How could a loving God take away a husband and a father right when the family is starting and not only that, they were one of the most loving Christian families out there. But you know, I might have been bitter, but if it hadn't been for my dad dying and my grandparents raising me and my sister. I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't be the same Whitney that I am. Of course things would have totally been different if he were alive and we were still in Alabama, but what about the people that I absolutely love here in South Carolina? I don't know what I would do without them. They have been that encouragement when I thought there was no one. Would I have that if I stayed in Alabama? Probably, but not in the way God wanted it. So I just wanted to let you know, if you are in my life, I love you. I would trade any of you for all the riches in the world. I'm not bitter about the situation anymore. i realize that God has a bigger plan for my life than I have for myself and I know that He will take care of me. How can I be bitter about that? This poem has really helped me. It explains just some of the things about God that we can comprehend.... but my favorite part is where it says, "He supplies strength for the weak, He's available for the tempted and the tried". Just read it and decide for yourself.

Death couldn’t handle him and
The grave couldn’t hold him
That's my King.
He is the King-Rev. S.M. Lockridge
