This week has been an interesting one.
I have been thinking about life (yes, I know that sounds deep and boring!). More importantly, I have been thinking about my life – about where I am, where I’ve been, and the obstacles I have overcome.
I also thought through my current situation – the struggles I am facing right now, and the giants I’m trying to slay.
Sometimes it feels like I’m getting nowhere. I began to ask God where my breakthrough was.
We go through a lot of fights in life – struggles, speed bumps, whatever you call them – and it often feels like there is no progress or answer. Sometimes, the answers we do get don’t satisfy us.
However, I was challenged by God: I felt Him say to me: “What is your answer?” The fight will always continue, but what is your outlook on it?
It’s funny, but it made me think about it in a totally different way. Perhaps I’ve been viewing my challenges from a negative perspective. I’ve seen them as problems to deal with, instead of appreciating where I was.
It’s easier said than done, but you have to challenge yourself to never look at the negative in a situation. Instead of focusing on the problem, you could rejoice in the ten other blessings God has given you!
I understand that we are human, and that it’s natural to feel negative when things fall apart, or when you don’t have a breakthrough. But sometimes you need to step out so He can step in. It’s time for a different approach to life.
God Speed.
