King James Version
139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
I don't know much about rock music.
But the HOLY SPIRIT led me to "Kid Rock" today.
The video above was created 14 years ago.
I sure am a late bloomer.
Who was Kid Rock?
What was he doing at the White House?
I know president Trump has many friends.
But what EO (executive order) was Trump signing?
And with a red-garbed rock musician yet?
Then I learned the rock star has an "advocacy".
To protect consumers from ticket scalpers.
You know, those who overcharge tickets.
Those bleeding concert enthusiasts dry.
So I checked a bit about Kid Rock, and found this:
"Ritchie is an advocate for affordable concert tickets. He sells tickets for as low as possible to increase concert attendance for lower income consumers, and to discourage scalping.[42][88] Instead of getting paid for the show, he gets a percentage of concession and ticket sales."
-- Wikipedia
Ritchie is Kid Rock.
Complete name: Robert James Ritchie.
He's an American musician.
A singer, rapper, and songwriter.
And don't get me started on his personal life.
And many other "controversies".
He's a single father, with one son.
At eight grade, he already got involved with a girl.
Later on, producing a son.
Just like Elon with X, Kid Rock dotes on his son, too.
Both have had colorful relationships with women, but they do dote on their sons.
Another seeming-contrary thing about Kid Rock is this.
And you'll probably laugh at the incongruity of it all.
Thing is, SPIRIT let me "stumble" upon this:
"Ritchie is an ordained minister
and has a firearm collection."
-- Wikipedia
Uh, okay, there's a lot to digest.
Especially if you read more about him here.
I did say I don't know much about rock music.
Much less about this interesting dude, Kid Rock.
The Trump administration is educating me, for sure.
But Trump likes him.
He invited him, and Bill Maher, at the White House.
Seemed their dinner last night, "rocked".
Leave it to America's president to have interesting dinner companions.
He's the president of the people, that's why.
He likes to listen to what they have to say.
"Love him, or hate him, GOD chose him"
Just don't interrupt him, or try to trip him.
As 95% of impolite woke left media do.
Naturally, I searched YouTube for Kid Rock music, so I'll understand what brand of music he has.
As born again watchman, of course, I could never get off course.
I instantly gravitated to his song, "Only God Knows Why".
It seems he wrote those lyrics in jail.
Nothing like adversity, for creativity.
And solidity.
Even humility?
As a habit, I look to the comments, and found touching ones:

"I've struggled with my mental health since I was 13 I'm 27 almost 28 now and this song is a part of why I didn't make the ultimate failure and end my life and only god knows why I didnt now I'm a chef and a father and the happiest I've ever been watching my beautiful boys grow up so if any young people are listening to this and read my comment remember to keep on walking with your head held high and keep moving on. Only god knows why but you'll go through and get out of your hell in time and after you'll find love and happiness."

"I've been out of prison for 6 yrs now. This song was the only song that I sang in my head for months on end. Here I am now six years later revisiting this song and it makes more sense to me now why I sing that song in my head for so many months now than ever. Thank God for his grace his mercy and his love! 6 years clean and sober and going strong! All glory be to God."

"One of the truest songs ever wrote.
Makes me cry almost every time. Tears of joy and pain. Through it all, Gods there. Thank you Jesus."
But He also led me to learning about Kid Rock.
The ordained minister-musician, who has a firearm collection.
But who sang a lovely song acknowledging GOD.
Ministers come in curious packages.
So, prepare to be surprised.
Such are GOD's ways.
