There are evenings when our soul is not at its best. Everyone around us seems happier than us and nothing seems to be working for us. So we start to lament. It’s a nasty spiral that gets us nowhere.
Faced with our current challenges, we sometimes look to the past with envy. Everything seemed easy and more pleasant in our previous chapter. Sometimes we even try to return to this past, which is never a good idea!
When circumstances beyond our control prevent us from pursuing our goals, we can be utterly discouraged. When our dreams seem unreachable, our heavenly Father wants to remind us that He is the God of the impossible!
Like a good Father, God wants us to grow in spiritual maturity. But there are areas where God prefers to take care of our needs, Himself, to avoid drama. And so are the injustices we can suffer.
When we were children, we learned that if we do an action we will achieve a result. Therefore, to have what we covet, we strive to follow certain rules. But in God, it’s a little different.
