said,
"Take heart. I have overcome the world." We all have troubles,
sometimes we view them as really big things when in most cases they are
not.
God gives us a plan, shows us a path, and in this country, above all others, has called us to do something great! Friday I heard a great man speak, Sammy Adebiyi. He said as Americans we are at the front of the line, top of the list, the cream of the crop. And God's plan for us in this position is to help the ones in the back, or even the middle or maybe just the guy standing right behind you.
Does traffic have you impatient today? Did someone steal your parking spot or worse yet take up two so you can't even park in the open one? Do you have to wait in a long line to get your $5 cup of coffee? Yes, many of us will have this today, I know I will. The question God asks us to consider is "What will you do about it Brett? Will you stand in frustration, anger, and selfishness or will you use those extra few moments to pray. Use them to pray for the others in traffic who also want to safely get home to their families. Pray for the man who took both parking spots because he was in a rush with a sick wife and child at home. Pray for the people around you in the coffee shop, who like in this video have troubles of their own. Loneliness, heart ache, pain, addiction, abusive spouses or parents, grieving, and some who don't even know who I am."
I do not think I would want a pair of God's glasses but this is what His word tells us to do, if you love Jesus, want to live as he did, you must put them on, put Him on and CARE!.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
