Through All Circumstances

Well, we all go through things in life. Some are indeed worse than others. Jesus never promised we wouldn't see trials. He never promised we wouldn't see hard times. But, He does promise us that He will be right beside us every step of the way. My wife and I have had a rough two year start to our marriage. A short 9 days into our new life, my back went out and I spent a month in a wheelchair with little hope from doctors that I was gonna get back to normal. During those times, we prayed, read, studied, and tried to keep a positive attitude, as best we could. We still tried to use this time to allow people to see Jesus through us, and not be bitter to the situation. Two major back surgeries, a couple of miracles, and six months down the road, I was doing good. Things were back to normal. Unfortunately normal didn't last long. Another accident came out of the blue, prompting a small army of specialists and tests for the next 6 months. Now, many months after that accident and after my last test, normal may not ever be achieved again. Future is unexpected and unpredictable, always is. One thing is constant, Jesus. It is hard at times to praise Him through tough situations, I know. When things aren't going your way, it is hard to give thanks. See, this life isn't always about us. These trials are simply that, trials. He will be there for us through it all, never failing. Remember, He didn't give us whatever we are going through, but He is allowing it. Be thankful that He has the faith in you that you can endure, and call on Him for guidance. I am. Also, people are watching. How we handle our own issues can affect others, either pushing them away from or drawing them closer to Jesus.  

Give praise in all circumstances.
