Change

Change of scenery
Change of pace
Change is right in front of me
It's all the same now
Nothing different than how it was
But change is right in front of me

Change is good for the soul
We need it so we don't get mundane
WE need it to kick start our thoughts
Kick start our prayers
Kick start our lives

Change requires us to see where we are
Requires us to pay attention
So that we become familiar

God-ordained change excites the soul
Prepares the path
Prepares for what's to come

Change can be unexpected
Or come right on time
We need change

Change brings growth
Growth brings maturity
Maturity makes us whole and complete in time
We need change
We don't need to always be the same

Our souls need change
We all need change

Pleading

David went through several different emotions even in just the first seven Psalms. He went from rejoicing, to praying, to fear, to grief, to sadness, to rejoicing and all of it he took to God. ALL of it he took to God. He did not completely try to handle his enemies on his own. He asked over and over - pleaded for God's help.

It's very evident that David relied on God a lot and God called him a man after His own heart - that's the kind of heart I should have if God was so pleased with David. And David wasn't perfect. He made mistakes and asked forgiveness and was restored. God used him in a great way - but he wasn't perfect.

I see a lot of myself in the emotions of David. I only pray that God is pleased with how I handle it and that I would strive to please God and plead for His help in what life brings.
