In difficult times, where the future seems beyond repair, we first need to change our focus. The mess sometimes means we took the wrong fork in the road. Sometimes the mess is due to matters completely beyond our control. Where do we start? With a fresh focus. Seek God’s still small voice. He may have a different solution than we could ever imagine. How? He can see beyond the horizon. He is more interested in our character than our comfort. He will teach us as the solution works out. Our part? Not EVER giving up. We need to take that next step – sometimes without knowing the outcome. There may be others in the same boat you are in. Help them, even if it means sacrificing something. Give without expecting anything in return.
