It is not difficult to find trouble in the world we are living in. All we have to do to find trouble is turn on our local news and see all the terrible things going on in the world today. There are wars and natural disasters taking place almost daily. There are times when trouble has found us even when we were not looking for trouble.
There are times when we go through some difficult situations in life and we don't know what to do. We look for help in people and things, and it seems like instead of being a help to us they become a hindrance. We can look to people to give a positive word in a trying situation, but instead we may receive those famous of I told you so.
Life is full of difficulties and these difficulties if we allow them to can take our focus off of the blessings that God has placed in our lives. When things go wrong those things tend to grasp our attention more than the things that are working well in our lives. There should not be any circumstance that takes our focus off of the great and wonderful things The Lord is doing in our lives.
Getting close to Jesus should be a daily goal that we have. It is essential that we press our way through the things that attempt to stop and block us from getting close to Him. There are going to be storms that arise and there are going to be times when things are going to weigh us down, but we cannot allow them to keep us from getting close to Christ.
Sunday is the day of the week that has gone through many changes. Sunday used to be a day where everyone went to Church. It did not matter what color you were Sunday was truly a day of worship and rest. There were times when even the stores were not opened on Sunday and anything you needed to get done you had to get done before Sunday.
As we go through life things do not always go the way we want them to go, or the way we thought they should go. As a matter of fact there are times when things go totally the opposite of how we planned. Circumstances and situations that arise in our lives can cause us to change plans mid -stream, and it is then that we realize we are not in control, but God is.
In the times that we live in this world there are a lot of things that can draw us away from God. When we have made up our minds to do the things God has told us to do, and something happens and before we know it we are doing the very opposite. When we go through these times of doing the opposite of what God wants us to do there can be times when we blame God for the things we do.
We have all come to a place where we knew we needed a change in our lives. It doesn't matter if we were brought up in the Church and have been going to Church all of our lives we have all had a time where Church nor God was not the most important thing to us. There were times when Church and God seemed to be irrelevant in our lives and we could live our lives on our own and do just fine.
There are some things in our lives that are not meant to last forever. There are some friendships we may of had while growing up, but we no longer have those same friendships, because they were not meant to last forever. There are some people who are in our lives for only a season. There are even some things we may go through and some storms we may have to weather, but they are not going to last forever.
