Don’t miss the silver lining

1 0

The bible says that “hope deferred makes the heart sick” Proverbs 13:12

Life is full of the unexpected. We all have experienced heartaches, disappointments and setbacks. But if we stare long enough there is always hope in the midst or in other words….

There is always a SILVER LINING called HOPE.

But it can easily be missed. In there article, “What does the Bible say about Hope”, Got Question ministries stated that…

Hope “Batah” in Hebrew means confidence, security and being without care. Confident “Biblical hope is a reality and not a feeling. Believing that God ALWAYS keeps his promises. Hope has the foundation of God’s word, in God’s character and the FINISHED work of our Lord and Saviors Jesus Christ. 

As I reflect on this principle, let me share, what I call, “my little miss it, if you blink blessing.”

Our refrigerator door kept opening. To save our food from spoiling we had to move everything to our stand up freezer in my laundry room. We were considering buying another refrigerator until we found a YouTube video. It suggested cleaning the strip around the door and putting Vaseline on it would keep the door closed. Long story short, the door closed and hundreds of dollars was saved.

We could have chosen to see the inconvenience that it caused or the blessing God provided. Viewing the situation from a positive, God point of view, we could see that it was significant. An instant chain reaction of gratitude and joy. 

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

Friend, trust God no matter how it looks or feels. Jesus wants us to see the “brighter side” to it all. We may not understand it all, BUT we should know that God will not waste any experience, loss or disappointment. It will be for your good and for his glory. Just hold on, wait and see.
