WARNING: This is a no-edit zone...
These are tumultuous times. Everything and everyone is in an uproar over something or many things. If it isn’t hurricanes on the coast, it’s hurricanes on Wall Street and in Washington.
We look at this, and too often see only the bad. There’s plenty of it and since bad news sells, that’s what we hear most, so this comes as little surprise. It is however an unbalanced view and one that, if we don’t guard our minds, can drive us into despair.
As believers, we know that regardless of worldly influences, God is in control. We know that there is purpose and reason and that evil done to cause harm, He can turn for good.
We also know that this conversion process is two-part. We do our part, God does His--and He is respectful of our free will.
This is the best reason to guard our minds. If we focus on doom and gloom, God will respect it as our wish. If we focus on solutions and finding value or good in the opportunities brought to light, then He’ll respect that.
So the question becomes, What do want respected?
