Tuesday’s Musings: Coping with the Unexpected


1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

I finished a novel yesterday that had more than a few surprising twists at the end.  The main character was constantly thrown for a loop as things that she had grown up believing were proven to be something very different from the truth. One of the other characters witnesses to her about his faith and the facts that challenges have actually strengthened him. Life can seem boring at times; it’s just the same old same old as the saying goes, then suddenly things change and the unexpected intrudes.  We have to regroup; reassess what we will do.  I’m glad our girl eventually learned to trust God herself.  God can help us get through the unexplained and unexpected if we anchor ourselves in Jesus Christ and His teachings.

Father, as each new day unfolds we don’t know what surprises, blessings or challenges it may present. Help us always to anchor ourselves in your strength.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
