"We've seen that whenever trouble arrive at our doorstep, we're
presented with a series of choices. We start at the crossroads and see
three paths: beaten, bitter, or broken. Do we surrender to God's will
or chart our own course? Do we withdraw into ourselves or accept the
Lord's invitation to move into a deeper relationship with Him--'If
anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in' (Rev. 3:20)?
"When
trouble arrives and we don't understand why, there is yet another
decision we must make. If we know Paul's secret, we can be confident of
making the right choice. I believe the secret is simply this: Accept what's happened even if it doesn't make sense, and trust that God is in control." - Jim Daly in Stronger
When
trouble arrives, and it will, how we deal with it can help or hinder
us. We don't want to be beaten, bitter, or broken. We sometimes want
to avoid the trouble rather than facing it.
