Someone came in to my office today to drop something off. We started chatting and he was very excited. Things have been tough for him lately. But, even with his struggles, he's doing his best to remain positive. And, it seems something has clicked for him. He's been serving and giving of himself more lately than I've ever noticed before. He's been more open and sharing and in turn, it seems, he's been receiving more. Today, he shared that since this change, things have suddenly been going his way. So, we discussed that when good things happen in our lives because of things we're doing, why do we stop? I think we just settle with things and think "ok- I've got it under control." I think we forget how we got there. And, we lose focus on God because we start focusing on ourselves. We need constant reminders to stay focused. And, that's where God puts people in our path. And, when bad things happen, it's not because God did something mean to us. Maybe it's because we lost focus and starting "going it alone."
So, where was God today? He was in my discussion with this person to help remind me to stay focused and to remind me why it's so important to continue helping others stay focused.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence.
Proverbs 3:4-6
Blessings,
