Potato or Egg

Some people crack under pressure, while others seem to thrive. I believe I am pretty good at handling things under pressure but others would be a better judge than I. On the other hand, I know some folks that have been some things that boggle my mind that a human could have withstood. So, what makes some people better at handling things than others?

I think the answer to that question is a varied as the people. For some, it may just be an intestinal fortitude that most of us will never understand. For some, it may just be that what seems to bother us doesn't bother them at all. For some, it may be that they can remove themselves from the situation and not really feel anything in that moment.

Today's word is something I came across that reminds us that we are tougher than we think: "The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you're made of, not the circumstances."

We will all have circumstances arise that we must do our very best to just push through. When these circumstances arise, from where will you draw your strength? My strength is in the LORD. I know that He will NEVER leave me nor forsake me. I know that HE is working things for my good. I know that He is all powerful, all mighty, and always present. I know that He won't take me to it without taking me through it.

If you are His child, you are far more prepared and far stronger and far tougher than you give yourself credit for. Circumstances will arise; the boiling water will be all around us. We can draw our strength from our Heavenly Father. If we will rely on Him, He will mold us into what we need to be, whether that is a potato or an egg.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
