When You Don't Understand...
Like many people, I'm sure there have been times in your life when you did the homework, carefully considered your plans, and clearly mapped out your next steps. But after all your hard work and careful consideration, things still didn't work out as planned. If that's what you are dealing with today, my advice is simple: when you don't understand, trust God anyway. Why? Because that's where faith comes in. In all our lives, there will be times when everything goes horribly wrong when you're trying to make things right. When that happens, keep pushing forward with faith. "Faith is the substance (foundation) of things hoped for, the evidence (proof) of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
Personally, I've learned by experience and persistent faith that:
- Setbacks are seasonal.
- Temporary defeats can lead to lifelong success.
- What doesn't kill you can make you stronger.
- A closed door of opportunity can lead to an open window for success.
- Getting to your destination requires taking a journey.
As you continue to charge ahead with faith, remember, if you don't manage your setbacks, your setbacks will manage you. Don't be afraid to seek help when it is needed, and keep your plans flexible, as adjustments may be needed to achieve certain goals and objectives.
