For the Believer there should be no crisis....only opportunities! Several years ago this was whispered into my spirit...no crisis, only opportunity.
Oh what a lesson(s) to learn.
Opportunity to walk by faith not by sight or by thoughts or by feelings or circumstances; opportunity to practise trust when I feel so helpless and things are totally out of my control and I have no answers and those I love are hurting so badly and I can't take away the pain and they don't do what I think they need to do; opportunity to develop more patience even tho I am exhausted, and don't sleep and my hormones are wacko, and drivers are idiots and I have a thousand valid excuses to lose it; opportunity to love the unlovely and give them what they need, not what they deserve; endless opportunities to self examine and repent and ask God to help me remove the "log in my own eye"; opportunity to pray without ceasing because there is nothing else to do.
Opportunity to walk-the-talk...to take Jesus at his word...to offer the sacrifice of praise...to grow Christ-like! Being a true follower of Jesus is not for the faint of heart...but it is worth it.
Thought for the day: Don't wait for a crisis to take the opportunity!
