Are we thankful for the trials that humbly force us to our
knees….seeking God’s help? Do not
wallow in despair, but turn any grumbling into gratitude/thankfulness. (1 Peter 4:12-13, James 1:2-5)
Can we find good in the imponderables of this life? While we usually struggle with this promise, God does work good through the bad. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Perspective points are defined as a comparative analysis of the
difficulties verses the blessings (lessons learned) of life's trials. These
reflections can allow us to find those simplistic, often taken for granted, blessings from such challenges. The true test of Christ-like perspective
points will provide great value from our difficult experiences. God can nurture, soothe, comfort, and be our
refuge. The result will be a heart
cultivated with thankfulness for a caring and loving Creator. In Duet. 5:12-15, Moses, as he delivers the
Ten Commandments instructed the
Israelites to keep perspective through a day of rest/reflection/remembrance……the
Sabbath. Do we take the time necessary
and required to put away the grind of daily life and seek godly
perspectives? If not I challenge you to
begin. While it will not take away the
hurt of our trials (nor diminish them), God will give us the strength to
endure. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
