Oppurtunities

on Sunday my pastor preached on trials. it was an absolutely amazing sermon. he told the church that he can't solve our problems for us or tell us some magical thing that will make all our problems disappear but one thing that really stuck out to me was that he said that every problem that comes our way whether it be financial problems, friend problems, physical problems, spiritual problems, or just a bad day to think of every hard thing as an oppurtunity to praise God. little did i know sunday evening that this message would be critical for my week. today i had just a bad day and this message came flying to my mind and i thought to myself this is an oppurtunity to praise God. i'm going to rejoice in the good things!!! as paul says many times in philippians "Rejoice in the Lord." this is just a little reminder to everybody that God sends us problems so we can praise Him. remember to lift each other up in prayer. have a Godly week!!
