Do you blame God?...

Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- Most trials are not the work of God or the devil; they're just part of the journey. The coronavirus and the steps that were taken to prevent more casualties have been one of the toughest trials that I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot.  I’ve lived a great life, but the journey has been very tough at times. The tough start to our marriage, sickness, cancer, strokes, betrayals, theft, deception… and that’s just the start. But no matter what we’ve been through as a family, I’ve never been tempted to blame God.  I’ve met so many people who blame God for the trials in their lives. It’s quite sad to see the results of this perspective. Have you ever blamed God for sickness or family problems? My mentor once said, “We don’t live with the facts of our lives but the interpretation of the facts of our lives.”   friend, do you know your interpretations lead to your feelings, then to options, then to choices, then to actions, and finally to your consequences? If you believe God is to blame for all the bad in your life, you will emotionally withdraw from God or build your life in fear. James says that God isn’t like that: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17, NKJV) Your view of God will help you reinterpret the pain and find more strength, or it will cause you to misinterpret the bumps in your life journey. The Bible says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” (James 1:2-3, NKJV) friend, I’m asking the Holy Spirit to help you reinterpret the bad things that have happened to you. He’s not the cause, He’s the solution.  You’re a miracle.  Paul Marc Goulet -- Thank you, Paul Marc, for sharing this today!
