WHAT DO YOU DO?

What do you do when you are sitting anxiously in a small doctor’s office (with no windows) and he comes in and says, “I’m sorry but it is cancer?”

What do you do when your Boss calls you into his office and says “We are going in a different direction and will not need your services anymore?”

What do you do when the phone rings at 2:00 a.m. and your son is on the phone and says, “Mom, I have been arrested for DUI?”

What do you do when your unmarried teenage daughter blurts out “I’m pregnant?”

Believe it or not, there are people who face dilemmas like that every single day! What do they do?

You have two choices > you can be bitter, resentful, hurt, take a bath in lots of self-pity oil, cry and ask “why me?” OR you can accept it as God’s providence in your life. You do not have to like it (and very often we don’t like it) but you ask the Lord for:

Grace to accept it

Wisdom to understand it

Mercy to persevere the challenge

Strength to overcome it.

All of that comes only from the LORD! You MUST stand on the truth of Romans 8:28 and Isaiah 43:1-3 and John 14:1-3 and II Corinthians 12:7-10 and Philippians 4:13, 19. Those verses are filled with grace, wisdom, mercy and strength! Those verses will assist you in your journey. I assure you of that. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind.” (II Timothy 1:7)
