Almost.....But Not Yet.

Psalms 69:29 I am in pain and distress, may your salvation, O God protect me. It is unfortunate in my humble opinion that there are scriptures that refer to pain, anguish, and distress in the middle of a "love story". I wish, at some point in this so-called card hand I 'feel' as though I've been dealt, that I'd get a royal flush. (And yes I 'feel' it I don't necessarily believe it-well not all of it anyway.) I have to say that I never really, really read Psalms not intentionally, maybe in reference but not intentionally. And I have heard people say that they have been given life scriptures, of which I have no idea what that means - I thought all scripture was life scripture but what do I know. And I have to say I wonder - ponder- wait for my "life scripture", something that I don't believe has "happened" yet or that I something that I haven't worked toward yet - or so I thought. I've been looking for something to make me laugh, I mean heart laugh, and I found a comedian on youtube.com, Mark Lowry, who is very funny and gives a message within the funny, and he has a life scripture....are you ready? "and it came to pass" That's it "and it came to pass". So here I sit looking at Psalms 69:29 - feeling in pain and distress, trying to find something - someway to 'numb' the pain (by the way 'numb' is not in the reference that I searched just FYI). And I find that David, King David, once again was crying out to God in pain, hurt, distress, anguish, etc, etc, etc. And he only asked that God's salvation be enough to protect him. And then I remembered my comedian's life scripture and I searched it on my reference guide (just so you know you have to use the King James version....this paraphrase is not in the NIV - sad when I think about what's next that they removed this from the NIV version). The phrase "came to pass" is in the King James version 462 times in some manner; either 'and it came to pass', 'it shall come to pass', 'it all came to pass', 'it came to pass in those days'. Funny that I have these two things together huh? From pain to passing; and I wonder when this too shall come to pass, this pain, fear, heartbreak, and distress, when will it come to pass and my story will start again and maybe it will start with "and it came to pass, the pain and distress because His salvation protected me...."
