The struggle is real. For all of us. And it’s so easy sometimes to get caught up in comparison. Measuring our situations, our responses, our outcomes to those around us. The temptation is to get so caught up in what is happening to us that we miss what God wants to do in us and through us.
Perspective changes everything. What if instead of seeing our circumstances as obstacles, we chose to to see them as an opportunity to strengthen ourselves. To set our eyes on the author and the finisher of our faith. To encourage ourselves in the Lord.
What if instead of reacting we choose to pause and respond? Think on it. Try it out. Let God meet you there. His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
