Look around

What's your problem? We hear that a lot, huh? It seems that everyone has a problem of some sort or another. That isn't to say that we don't all have legitimate problems and concerns. There isn't a day go by that we aren't pulled by some misfortune or mishap that upsets our normalcy. It happens to us all.

How much do you focus on your problems? I would dare say that many of us focus more on the problems than on blessings. There are probably very few people that consider how much they have rather than what they don't have. Yeah, we often lose sight of all the good because we only focus on this moment in time, this narrow glimpse of our whole day.

Today's word is a quote that I came across that reminds me to look around: "If your problem in life is as big as a ship, never forget that your blessings are as wide as the ocean."

There will be big problems in this life, BIG PROBLEMS. No one is exempt; we will all experience the difficulties this life has to offer. That's not because we have done anything wrong or that we had one coming, we live in a broken and fallen world where things just happen. But, as a child of GOD, when those things happen, we can confidently know that GOD is with us and will strengthen us and guide us through.

It's easy to get caught up in all the bad things that happen in a day - easy. But, I am going to try to remember that when the difficulties come, and they will, that I am still more blessed than I could ever imagine. Instead of focusing on the storm, I'm going to try to remember to look around.

Be Blessed,
