CIRCUMSTANCES

Circumstances may be outside of your control,but the way you respond to them is not.

Do you feel like the circumstances in your life are out of control?Do you find yourself in situations that are just the opposite of what was on your agenda?Are you frustrated that things are not turning out according to your plans?

Much of what happens in your life is beyond your control. sometimes it is an insignificant as an unexpected change in the weather that ruins your weekend plans;other times it may be catastrophic,such as a terminal illness.You have no choice in these circumstances,but you can choose how you will respond to these situations.

Instead of being infuriated by your own inability to alter these events,be thankful that God is all-powerful and has control over all of these things. He can either change the circumstances,or He can give you the strength to endure them.

I have learned the secret of living in every situation,whether it is with a full stomach or empty,with plenty or little. For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.

PHILIPPIANS 4:12-13
