Yesterday's "Jesus Calling...Enjoying Peace in His Presence" by Sarah Young, was a good one. If you recall Young has written thoughts as if Jesus is speaking to us:
"When you are plagued by a persistent problem...
one that goes on and on....
view it as a rich opportunity,
An ongoing problem is like a tutor
who is always on your side.
The learning possibilities are limited only
by your willingness to be teachable.
In faith,
thank Me for your problem.
Ask Me to open your eyes
and your heart to all that I am accomomplishing
through this difficulty.
Once you have become grateful for a problem,
it loses its power to drag you down.
On the contrary,
your thankful attitude will lift you up in to heavenly places with Me.
From this perspective,
your difficulty can be seen as
a slight, temporary distress that is producing
for you a transcendent Glory never to cease!
