89 – Blessings in Disguise
We just have to keep reminding ourselves that everything that happens in our lives serves to bring us to the point the Lord wants us to be, and by praising Him it releases more of God’s power to move us in that direction.
So it’s an important step to get our eyes off of the actual obstacles or physical circumstances and seek to see God’s hand in our life. And when we assume this role we can better recognize that a difficult set of circumstances may be God’s way of providing us with an opportunity to grow.
How do we grow? There are many things that the Lord may be requiring of us. Maybe the point is to get us to exercise our spiritual muscles putting more effort into prayer, or learn to trust Him as our faith grows. Or perhaps our circumstances are necessary to make us appreciate others more. Or it could also be the Lord’s way of exposing weaknesses in our lives that He needs to address in order to move us to the next stage.
In any case, the circumstances that expose our own lack of self-sufficiency should be interpreted as God’s blessings in our life, even if they’re blessings in disguise.
