Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God - Psalms 42:5
Our life situations, most of the time, are not ideal. The year 2020 proves this is true. But the situation and events in our lives should not control the way we live.
It is what we make of them that will define the direction of our life. When we overcome our fear, anger, disappointment, and frustrations. It is the time to celebrate what we have, our ministry, and trust God for the result.*
“The important thing is to make the best use of one’s possessions and capabilities—there are still plenty left—and to accept the limits of the situation, by which I mean not giving way to feelings of resentment and discontent.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters And Papers From Prison
Prayer:
Lord, give us the strength to follow your will and not be bound by the limits of our situation. Amen.
*Charles R. Ringma, Seize the Day with Dietrich Bonhoeffer
