Our thoughts tend to drift to the problem, whether perceived, anticipated, or real.
This can be the human condition.
Why do we not realize that the sun still shines, and still faithfully rises and sets every single day? The sun and light are still there, even if there are clouds. Why do we overlook and/or forget this?
If we are honest, every single moment of our lives, there are sunshine and clouds.
There is good and bad in every moment. Without fail.
There are blessings challenges in every moment.
The question is, are we wise and mature enough to search for the blessing and the good despite of the clouds or storm?
The question is, are we going to focus on the blessing, and on Him? Or on the challenge that pushes us from seeking Him fully? (After all, when we focus on the challenge, we are not seeking or trusting Him fully.)
This moment has challenge. But this moment also has hundreds of blessings (literally, let me add). So, which will we choose to focus on in this moment?
Acknowledge the challenge, sure, for you can praise, glorify, and honor the Father, be seeing how He gets you through all of it and blesses you tremendously because of it.
When we focus on the blessings in every moment, in spite of challenge, we become far better people. And we are living a life of active faith and not just a faith we vocalize.
