Understanding in Time

Give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus

Navigating the currents of life can be overwhelming for those not rooted ‘n’ grounded in their belief in the Most High one. Indeed the continuous ebb and flow, high tide and low, wreaks havoc on a weak being and manifests doubt in the promises He made to your heart when you cried out and were 'infilled'. Finding praise in these times is nothing short of a miracle and the spirit longs to be like some more sure, those who are thankful for tribulation recognizing and accepting that it is His will….

So a process which should’ve taken a day at most, is prolonged in the weakest among us to days…days spent trying to focus on His previous and present blessings, His comfort through other crisises, His peace in the face of His own demise, His resurrection from the dead…the overcoming principle of our faith. Yes in these times one is hard pressed to consider the great evil as a part of the puzzle, a patch in the quilt of the better life for you He is crafting.

Through the mire of wrong thinking though, praise whispers uncontrollably from within and claws its way through the anger, sorrow, disappointment and doubt and all it takes is a willing heart to listen, a moment of being still, a word from a friend….then one is able to cope..one can lift up scaled eyes and see beyond the natural circumstances to the blessing in the dark cloud.

Eventually one is able to give thanks and praise and crave forgiveness and His further indulgence as your faith grows.
