Today's Jesus Calling by Sarah Young spoke to my heart:
Welcome problems as a perspective-lifters. My children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacles that stymies them. If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from My perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward Me, and see the Light of My Presence shining upon you. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Psalm 89:15
