When things aren’t going our way in life it proves a whole lot of who we are in Christ..for starters it shows us just what all is in us..for what is in us does come out from us..Matthew 15:18..and especially them things that aren’t all that good seems to come out from us when things aren’t going our way in life..you know the way we think it should be going..and so we get a little upset about things and begin saying things and doing things that ain’t all that nice or pretty to say the least..but how many of ya know that sometimes God places them unfortunate events and oppositions in our lives to show us some things that we maybe didn’t know that needed to be worked on in us..for I always say it’s easy to be good when all is going good for you..and it’s easy to be kind when all is kind to you..but see the hard part of our lives comes when them things aren’t all that good and them people aren’t all that kind or nice..that’s when the testing comes..that’s when we may get put through the fire so to speak..when certain things begin to happen..it proves to us what were made of..for God does test us..and He tries us by the fire the word of God says..for it says when were tried we will come forth like pure gold..Job 23:10..for you see if we can be faithful over little the Lord says He would make us rulers over much..Matthew 25:23..so everything isn’t always going too go our way..and not everyone is going to be all nice and kind..so we deal with all types of things in life..but the whole thing about it is how are we responding to them things..that is the place as to where we will move forward or the place as to were we will remain and be tested again..for our lives are constantly being tested..we are constantly growing and learning..but doing the things that were supposed to do doesn’t always come easy when were dealing with life and others..for being a christian really goes hand and hand with following the word of God..for when we say we are followers of the Lord..thats when society in a whole places you right there under that big ole microscope..and they begin looking at every part of who you are and what you are..for they seem to always want to find fault..have you ever noticed that?..so we live the word guys..we do the best we can and we realize and understand that we are human beings that we are not perfect but the word tells us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect..Matthew 5:48..and we strife with all that’s in us to live peacefully with all men..Romans 12:18..and we try our best to not let any unwholesome words spew out from our mouths only that which is edifying and uplifting..Ephesians 4:29-32..but more then anything we do our best daily to please the Lord..with all that we are and with all that we say and do..because when we our pleasing the Lord all else falls into place for us and our lives..and even if were in a storm of life will still be at peace and at rest..for we know that were in the will of the Lord..so we wake up and we live all for God..and we walk in His ways..and we talk His words..for His words is what leads us and guides us into all truth..so let us live a life of happiness..and let us pass our tests in life..and let us grow and learn more then anything..for with growth comes change..and change is always good when were changing for God..and His plan for us and our lives..so let us all have a great day..living our lives for that audience of one which is Jesus Christ our Lord..In His name, Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
