Day 151, June 3

"I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God." -- Max Lucado

I wish I could say that I share Lucado's faith.  The fact is, I don't see problems in such a positive light.  I tend to rant and rail, whine and complain. 

Finding the positive in problems is a trait that we would all do well to possess.  For we will all face problems, large and small, in this life.  Some of those problems will test us in ways we never wished to be tested.  Sometimes we will fail those tests.  Other times, we will triumph.

Observing others as they face challenges both humbles and awes me.  And I wonder how I would handle myself in similar circumstances. 

This I know for sure:  finding ways to see God in whatever cirucmstances we face will move us closer to Him.

  1. Usually, I find that the problem is me. Once I manage to recognize that, I can pray, and have the opportunity to see God.
