I've heard a lot of distressing news lately about sickness, death and just daily struggles of others. It makes me appreciate the blessings in my life more.
Some wonder why we have struggles but there is value in them. Perseverance --the greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it. Romans 5;2-4 ''And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.'' If you hadn't been there and done that thru a struggle, could you've ever known you could make it thru it? Our battle stories help others while they are going thru a similar fight. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle of some kind so be merciful.
Life is good....and it's all good. Even the girl in the caption is going thru the bumps and rocky spots of life but she can smile thru it all. She even has one hand off the steering wheel because she knows Who really has got it all under control.
It is all good, we have read the last chapter and for believers we know how it will end. it is all good, Praise God. Dad
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie. for expressing MY thoughts in a different way. Yesterday I began to get really down, thinking about some things that seem so out of kilter. I wanted to sink into the depths of despair, but God reminded me that He is in control and that I am His and have not only a fighting chance but a good chance of seeing things turn around. Praise God! Life is good! And God is great!
ReplyDeleteSo love this....love the pic and really love the analogy. Love the freedom this little driver portrays in trusting that life is not in her hands, but in God's. I read Jesus Calling every day (as you know) and the constant confirmation of His Presence EVERY DAY is so very comforting and keeps me focused on the right path. So thankful for His word and His guidance. God is good....all the time....all the time....God is good. Love you, T.
