I kept reading, this morning, until something grabbed me. I made it all the way to 143 before it happened.

I'm not sure the circumstance by which these chapter were written. But, I can imagine that David is writing these as he is hiding from King Saul in the desert. I can sense his desperation. His loneliness for company, and for God. I like the verse I copied. It shows a complete trust in God. After all, there's nothing more you can give him, than your entire life. When you are completely relliant on him, life is exciting and meaningfull. I'm not very good at that....but, am working on it.

WOW! I love when this happens even after reading all of these chapters, I selected the one verse that struck me.

I have been in a real struggle lately. John Deere is an outstanding place to work and I am very well paid. I have a job of great responsibility and challenge, yet I am struggling right now. My job seems to be consuming me at a time when I want to make sure I enjoy the next 5 years of time with my kids around. I don't want to over sell it because I know a million people would trade me in a heart beat to have this type of challenge. i have been approached by a friend from church about a CFO job at the company he works for, it would be local less travel and not the crazy hours driven by having global responsibility. I'm not kidding myself because I'm sure it would bring its own level of stress and probably would not pay as well as what I make today. But still I am wrestling with what to do. Then I read this and think, how much have I really taken this to God to see where he wants to use me...the answer only a little. Show me the way I should go for to you I entrust my life. I pray this now.
