Dear Young Christian,
Life can change drastically or come to a screeching halt very quickly. We make plans, we have hopes, we set goals, we have aspirations and dreams. When these schemes fail to work out according to our designs, it is very easy to become frustrated and annoyed. We may even chafe under it and question God’s ways.
Joseph had his life turned upside down the day he went in obedience to his father Jacob to see how his brothers were doing. As a young person, Daniel found himself in Babylon with a complete change in lifestyle. However, both of these young people took their circumstances from their God, profited by them, and were used in great blessing to many.
So it is with us today. If we are willing to accept whatever the Lord has for us, even though it may not have been what we planned or wanted, there will be peace in our souls, and we can be used in blessing to others. You will be “like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalm 1:3).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
