THE RIGHT PERSON

God’s choice is never going to be based on popularity. It won’t be determine by goodness or other qualities we think would be the issue.

His basis is according to His will. And often it seems when somebody is picked they are not thrilled by it.

More than one person called didn’t treat that anointing as a blessed. It was a burden, a choice that didn’t get viewed as something desired.

When one looks at the panorama of life one can appreciate that there is often more suffering than fun. It is not a thrilling prospect, but is true.

Not to make this a negative view, just that faith truly is only practiced when one faces crisis. Blessings don’t require a lot of trust.

So in order to give us that arena of trust it means valleys. Course everyone faces trials. Being a Christian doesn’t make one special in that regard.

However, what we do about it does matter. And that is where we are in the arena of faith. That is the choice the believer will make.

I suppose it would be great if believers had better results in the valleys, but we often get similar results. Because we are still human.

What truly is the mark upon our lives is the area of do we lift up the Lord or do we sit and merely complain? Can we accept the burden with joy or always sadness?

These are the questions that will haunt the soul. They will come again and again into our mind.

Because our minds are still prone to have certain expectations. We want rewards for faithfulness.

We want somebody to listen to our suffering. And we want to have somebody make it better.

But it only stays the same. And that is part of the truth we have to embrace. In a way that comes with knowledge.

If we to that, peace comes in the midst of the struggle. We can face it for the right reasons.

That might seem like a simple answer. And it might not seem to work for others, but then sometimes simple is truth.
God never gives us lies for truth.
