All the trials we will or have endured…..what is our attitude? Where is our mind parked? It’s natural and not necessarily sinful to ask ‘why’ to God. It can be a sin if these questions cause us to lose sight of God, to decide it’s not worth it and flee God. Conversely, after we ask ‘why’, we perhaps will not receive the response we would like. The trials will not vanish. We must change where we park our minds……from the ‘why’ to ‘what’. What will I do now that this trial has happened and is a reality in my life? Not the easiest or most natural response, but a godly one. This mind set will allow us to draw closer to God, to stop trying to figure it all out, to believe that God is in control, and to trust Him. Philippians 4:8 tells us where we should park our minds/thoughts…things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy. Only then can we learn to better seek our God for what opportunities He has planned for us now. I read a powerful analysis of what our attitude should be...... that we might process our trials through the filter of God’s love. Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us that God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
