You know. I had a really crappy day today. At every moment I felt the world saying that I am falling behind, missing out, not realizing my potential. I look left and I look right and see my peers passing me up professionally. It hurts on the inside. A squeezing feeling in my stomach gets stronger and stronger. The more frustrated I get the stronger the feeling gets. The more I “vent” the more frustrated I get.

Looking at the truth of God’s Word, I realize that it doesn’t matter what events transpired. What really matters is my personal reponse to them. Everyday God gives us chances to not look left or right, but to look strainght ahead. It is vital we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. Otherwise, we fall in to the temptation of cursing our circumstances and ultimately God. I don’t want to curse God. I want to look at the amazing gifts He’s given me and realize I am more than blessed. I want to see that He who began a good work in me is FAITHFUL. And you kow what, He is. You can take that to the bank.
