WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON LIFE?

This may seem like a strange question for me to be asking, but REALLY, “what is your take on life?” Ask yourself these questions: 1. Do things always have to go my way? 2. Are there always challenges, are there no “free days?” 3. Have I been expecting too much out of life? 4. Do I feel there are more “cloudy” days then “sunny days”? 5. Do I really believe all things work for GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD? 6. Is God on my side and does He know where I am now? 7. How can I release something that is ALWAYS staring me in the face? 8. Is there any hope for our world and me? Can it get any worse? 9. Can I have joy in spite of my circumstances? 10. Do I really believe God has my best interest at heart? Sarah Young author of Jesus Calling has said: “ I AM LEADING YOU STEP BY STEP THROUGH YOUR LIFE. HOLD MY HAND IN TRUSTING DEPENDENCE, LETTING ME GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS DAY. YOUR FUTURE LOOKS UNCERTAIN…WHEN YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE FUTURE, YOU ARE GRASPING AT THINGS THAT ARE MINE. THIS, LIKE ALL FORMS OF WORRY, IS AN ACT OF REBELLION: DOUBTING MY PROMISES TO CARE FOR YOU.” Deuteronomy 29:29; Psalm 32:8 Yes, we are living in troubled times: life is not always fair, some days are just “plain terrible”. You will get discouraged, relationships suffer, our hearts get broken, our feelings get hurt, it seems no one cares and security seems to be threatened-- BUT GOD!!! “RELAX & ENJOY THE JOURNEY IN MY PRESENCE, TRUSTING ME TO OPEN UP THE WAY BEFORE YOU AS YOU GO.”
