Just a quick reminder:
In our daily lives, it's very important for us to remember that how we see and perceive things can greatly affect how we react and respond to what's happening in our lives.
Our emotions and actions will be determined by the views and perceptions we have in every situations.
The bible tells us in this verses:
Matthew 6:22-23 KJV
[22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. [23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
We should look at every circumstance in a positive way, so we can think and act in the right way.
While a wrong view to situation can lead to a troubled heart and a clouded mind, which in turn leads to wrong actions.
Remember the story of 12 Israelite spies in the bible in the book of NUMBERS Chapter 13-14, when Moses gathered to every Israel tribes a men to spy out the land of Canaan for 40 days.
Because of the wrong perspective on the situation, the 10 spies brought back an evil report when they came back, emphasizing the giants they saw living in that land, which stirred fear among Israelites. However, Joshua and Caleb, who saw the land's richness and goodness, remained optimistic, knowing that God had promised to give them a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Sometimes we have a wrong view when it comes to true blessings; we think that financial and material blessings are greater to be thank for than waking up every morning with renewed strength, good health or safely went home from work and accomplished a bunch of endless task.
We see it as a small thing and taking it for granted like it's just a natural aspect of our lives as if we're the ones who controls it.
But the bible said in:
James 4:14 KJV
[14] Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Tomorrow is always uncertain for us, so we should recognize and appreciate our true blessings every day.
We're always dealing with different challenges that life throws at us, and it's like a never ending solving of problems. Sometimes varying in depth, weight and form but are the same which called problems. However, the good news is that these problems can turn into a blessings if we view them in GOD's perspective.
The bible tells us in:
Romans 8:28 KJV
[28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Nothing happens to our life that are insignificant. Whatever we are dealing with whether if it's bad situation, hardship, loss of loved ones or a job, even failure in school or business.
GOD is telling us that it's for our own good, God allows it not because He wants to punish us. But the truth is, He uses trials and problems to build us, train us and develop us to whatever we need not to whatever we expect to this life.
at first, we might not understand why all this is happening, but it's all part of God's plan, it is a test that in the end, we will learn the lessons that comes from patience, faith and endurance if we not give up and trust the LORD. The experiences and the lessons are the preparation that makes us more deserving for the blessings we're asking for and what God is prepared for us.
Life is hard, as its always supposed to be. But don't complain, being a follower of Christ doesn't mean life will going to be easy, but rather life gets more complicated yet most meaningful as we live a life depending on Him and not on ourselves alone.
We should always find ways to be thankful, be grateful to whatever God has given and done for us. Big and small, great or little, not only on materials things but also to those trials and test that God's allows to happen in our lives that changed us for the better. Turning our problems into a blessings and seeing things in God's perspective will makes us see what God is doing for you and allowing Him to work with you and we will find so much to thank for instead of complaining.
Lastly let's remember this verses in the bible:
James 1:2-4 KJV
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; [3] Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. [4] But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
God bless you ❤️
