In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.–Ecclesiastes 11:6
You’ve heard it said, you’ve probably said it–“I’m not going to take it anymore!”. Really? So,what are you going do? Like it or not, chances are good that something you don’t like, something that’s not right, will happen today. And in most cases the best advice anyone could give you is,”take life as it comes”. You can resent it and resist it and make matters worse, or you can expect it, accept it and allow it to work something good.Here’s some good advice, Charles Swindoll wrote:
The only way we can come to terms with reality—is by trusting God, regardless. No ifs, ands, or buts.
If I am a farmer and God allows a flood to come and wash away my crops or God chooses to give me the beautiful season rains and a bumper crop, I trust Him and I give Him praise.
If I am in industry or some profession and someone throws me a curve and God allows my whole world to be reversed, I trust Him and I give Him praise.
I take life as it occurs. I don’t waste time in the pit of doubt. Nor do I worry over crop failures and strikeouts.
We can’t wait for conditions to be perfect. Nor can we wait for things to be free of all risks—absolutely free, absolutely safe. Instead of protecting ourselves, we have to release ourselves. Instead of hoarding, we are to give and invest. Instead of drifting, we are to pursue life. Instead of doubting, we are to courageously trust.
