When Your Bad Meets His Goodعينة

### DAY FOUR: We See a Mess. God Sees a Chance! The obstacles in your life are God’s opportunities to reveal Himself to you. He turns your mess into a message and your test into your testimony. When David wrote Psalm 56, he was held captive by the Philistines and knew that only God would be his strength. He trusted God, knowing He understood every sorrow and fear and would take care of him, no matter how deep his despair was. I’m not sure how David saw his tears being collected in a bottle, but those tears resulted from pain, so his insight was very personal. David could not help sharing how God made sure none of his tears went to waste. We talk about accepting Jesus as our personal Savior; what an example David was of having a personal relationship with God! God loves us intensely. I am amazed that He gave His only begotten Son to walk this earth as a sacrifice, to be our pattern in life, and to die in our stead. I don’t know how I could have lived so many years in selfishness, not even considering what Jesus Christ did for me. My only consolation is knowing that when God saw the mess my life had become, He also saw a chance to make it amazing.
