Recently, I felt like I was treated very poorly by individuals that I expected more from. I was left standing in disbelief and speechless.
It did not take long for this disbelief to turn to anger toward the people that should have behaved differently. It began to consume my thoughts over a period of a few hours and then carried over into the next day. I really wanted justice and felt that something should be done. How could I be treated like that!? Funny how if we slow down and look at our situations for a few seconds, we can see them in a new light. It probably was not even about me and even if it was, there was little I could do to help myself.
I sought justice but received little consolation. I thought about what else I could do and then I stopped and thought about what this situation might be doing to me. It was such a huge distraction! It was distracting me from my physical work and my spiritual work. I was not thinking much about what God might be saying or the things He might be asking me to pray about and focus on. I was consumed with what I wanted – and wanted the wrong to be righted immediately!
There are always going to be people that do things the wrong way. It may even be people that we never expect it from. If we focus on what they have done or are doing we will not focus on what God is most definitely saying in the situation. God is always saying something and can always work it out for our good – even if it is just a lesson and not a spectacular miracle. We will miss His “still small voice” saying, “This is the way and I want you to move right now.”
If we are screaming out our threats and seeking our own justice, we will not pray about the situation like we need to. Perhaps the upsetting situations we face could just be the enemy’s attempt to distract us from what we really need to be focusing on and praying about.
Whatever situation we may face, I am certain that God’s way is best and if we ask Him, He will show us His way. If we put things in perspective we will most certainly see a bigger picture.

On Friday, October 16th, we will expanding our present recovery program to include ministry to family members of those who are seeking recovery from addictions.
Often the focus is on the individual who is struggling with the addiction while the rest of the family is left to deal with their feelings, disappointments, and frustrations on their own. Our intention is to offer support and ministry to these families and help them discover truth and solutions through the Word of God.
If you know anyone who could benefit from this type of support ministry, please encourage them to participate in the weekly meetings. We are offering this as a service to our community and all are welcome regardless of their church affiliation.
“For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.”
