Do you ever convince yourself that you are alright with the way your life is being played out? I constantly do this. I am okay. Life is good. God loves me, and I try to do my best for Him. I teach my child about God and His love. I try to make sure that I have a Godly attitude in all that I say and do. Then . . . screech . . . things come to a crashing halt.
You realize that things are not alright. Your life has changed dramatically due to circumstances beyond your control. You have no way to make things better. Then, you notice that everyone around you has that picture perfect family, and you are alone. You have lived a good life, and you just want what everyone else has, a chance at being happy. You have let your human nature take control, instead of giving this situation to God.
God never promised Christians happiness. He promised them so much more than that. He has promised them love, mercy, protection, eternal life, plus many more attributes. To borrow a phrase from the fire safety, “We just need to stop, drop, and roll “. We need to stop those thoughts, drop to our knees, and pray to God. He will lead into the right direction. He will give us guidance regarding any situation. We can seek out advice from others, but it will never suffice to God’s advice. We must seek out answers from the ultimate guru, God, because “Jesus is still alright, Jesus is still alright” (DC Talk). Watch the video.
