Story behind the song
God has gotten a bad rap for many years. This song was written after family members had gone through tragedy after tragedy, one bad thing after another. When circumstances pile up on you, it's easy to resort to thinking that God doesn't like you, or God is putting something on you to teach you a lesson. While the Bible teaches that every good and perfect thing comes from above, God is trying to teach you something. He's trying to teach you that He is not the author of what's happening to you. Deuteronomy 30 says that God has set before us life and death, the Blessing and the Curse. Choose life that you may live. The curse is for the devil and his angels who have rebelled against God. The devil's desire is to get you off God's path of blessing and on the devil's path of the curse. When this happens in your life, know that the Bible says that God has plans for you for good, for a future and a hope. Submit yourself to God and resist the devil and he will flee from you.
