Find the good •

    During this time of panic and negativity we have to choose to find the good. We have to learn to see each and every situation that happens in a different way. Try looking at it like what good can come out of this situation. Think about it...

   Sometimes in life we jump to the worst scenario. I know that I do. For example when a family member gets sick we hope that they will be OK, but at the same time in our minds we think they won't get better they will only get worse. Wheres the faith? Where is the trust that we have in Christ? We have to learn to find the good in all situations.We need to learn to trust God and have faith in him through the good and the bad times. We have to realize that just because things do not go according to our plans dose not mean that they are not going according to Gods plan. Sometime in life we won't understand why things happen, but one day it will be made clear and we will understand.

    Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” John 13:7 

    There are many things that we can find the good in. Maybe our past, story, or hard times that went through. I know that all of us at one point in our lives have asked God why we had to go through a certain time or situation. Why did it happen? Why me? Why then? One thing that we know is that God works everything for the good of those who love him. We do not go through everything for no reason, God has a greater purpose that we may not see. We have to see that Gods plan has a greater purpose. God can do more and greater things with our lives that we could ever imagine. God has known the plan for each and everyone of our lives from the very beginning and everything that we have went through was for a purpose and to give us a hope for a future that God has planed for us. Have you ever thought that God may have put you through the trials so that you can also reach others that have been through similar experiences to tell them that God is good and that he is a God that saves that they are not alone. This is just a another way of finding the good in our lives trials.

     "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think" Ephesians 3:20 

    "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

"When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you" Isaiah 43:2

    Next time that you think that you can't find the good in the situation I want you to think about everything that God has got you through. How you have had someone all along who loved you and walked every trial with you and felt all the pain that you felt. A God who saw your future when you could barley see your tomorrow. God Finds the good in you and in me and every situation. God is the Good.
