We worship God when we leave it up to him to interpret our circumstances. We worship God when we take the facts that we can see and offer them to the God-who-sees-all. We worship God when we allow him to define our lives and our purpose.
We worship God when we allow our heartache and our horrible circumstances to crowd us closer to the One who grieves with us because he loves us more than any other.
So what?
· Give your circumstances to God - God sees the big picture, so he is the best one to interpret your circumstances. He is in control of all things, even when it may not appear that way.
· Look for the blessing - When faced with heartache, ask God to show you the blessing, the dark treasures, hidden within. (Isaiah 45:3)
· Instead of asking, 'Why is this happening to me?' ask God, "What do you want me to do in this situation?"
· Pray: "Oh Holy One of Blessing, Your presence fills creation. Thank you for this day and for the simple blessings I so often overlook. You go before and behind, and I trust you to turn these circumstances into something that brings glory to you."
