Through
my many dealings with people I hear a variety of prayer requests. Lately I’ve heard from a young lady who
really wants her life to be different, but she doesn’t understand why God
doesn’t fully answer her prayers. I was praying through how to help this
person when God had this thought pop into my head: “You can be angry with
God for what you don't have, or happy with Him for what you do have.”
What
a decision that is! I had never thought of my Christian walk this way but,
man, does that hit home!. Yet, what a true statement it is!
In
our society it’s become easy to be negative and so not accept that God really
is working in our lives. We don’t have things the way we want them,
so we just assume that God isn’t helping us. Instead, He is richly
blessing us every day and we don’t even notice.
So,
my question for you today is: Can you accept that you now have to do the
hard thing? You have to decide to be happy for what you do have instead
of being unhappy for what you don’t have. I have a feeling that once you
make that change that you’ll find yourself blessed even more.
So,
give it a try! What do you have to lose?
