Today's devotion in school was encouraging.
It talks about nice problems. Sounds like an
oxymoron huh.
To many of us, problems are definitely not what we
define as nice. In fact, problems wear you down and
discourage you. So why nice problems?
It is the way you view problems. It is your perspective, your
point of view. One of the examples mentioned by the
teacher was homework. Students dread having homework.
However, we can view homework in another perspective.
Having homework means having an education.
How fortunate we are as compared to children in poorer
countries. We have the opportunity to be educated.
It is by God's grace.(:
Very often, we whine and groan when we face
problems. Thus, we fail to see how fortunate we are.
We fail to see what God has done and provided for us.
Take a min to think about the problems you have now.
How can you change your perspective?
Remember that it is by God's grace to live
so comfortably.(:
So start counting God's blessings instead of frowning upon
them unknowingly!
I read from a book which talks about spiritual dryness.
We do not experience spiritual dryness for nothing.
It is God's way of teaching us to persevere in the walk
with Him and to have faith. Through this period
of dryness, one would grow more spiritually mature with
perseverance.
So if you happen to experience dryness of any kinds, do not
despair! Cus God is always with you, bring you through this
tough time!
He who brings you to it will pull you through it!(:
All we need to do is to follow God faithfully.
When He brings out His own sheep, He goes before them;
and the sheep follow him.--- John 10:4
He knows the way to green pasture and good water; all
we have to do is to follow--- ODB, 21 Oct.
hmmm i kinda side tracked from nice problems huh.:P
I have this sudden urge to share about perseverance!!
I can feel that God is telling me to persevere!:D
Gonna persevere as i journey with our Father(:
