Hello ,
In his book of sermons The Living Faith, Lloyd C. Douglas tells the
story of Thomas Hearne, who, "in his journey to the mouth of the Coppermine River, wrote that a few days after they had started on their expedition, a party of Indians stole most of their supplies. His comment on the apparent misfortune was: 'The weight of our baggage being so much lightened, our next day's journey was more swift and pleasant.'
I had
to chuckle when I read this. I probably wouldn't have responded in such a calm, assured way if I had experienced the robbery of my supplies.
Our attitude towards the seemingly negative things that happen to us as we serve God in our daily lives makes a huge difference in how we approach life and our circumstances.
Lord, help me to remember that You are always with me...no matter what I am going through!
Have a great day and God bless!
