a man after God's heart

2 Samuel 22
David, a man after God's heart.
there is so much to learn from David!
David's song of praise really reminds me to be thankful to God all the time, yes ALL time. we often forget that when we are down, or sometimes, when we think we can handle everything.
when we are depressed, we cry out to God with all these negative thoughts and complaints, hoping God will eventually solve all the problems. I am not saying that's wrong, it is absolutely right to talk to God with everything, but before we think of what things we want, we have to think what we have first.
there is so so much more of what we have than what we don't have in life, maybe you just don't realize that. we need to see a bigger picture and learn to be thankful to all the things we have, and also things we don't have as well. for example, I don't have sickness, I thank God for that; I don't have 4.0+ GPA, thank God for that because I know there is always space for improvement, etc,etc.
God has given us countless wonderful things in life, and that is a great joy.
Praise God and be thankful on little things would definitely please God.
