If you’re also tempted to look back with longing at past comforts and circumstances, let’s remind ourselves that it’s not from wisdom that we do so. If God has made both the day of prosperity and the day of adversity, there must be a loving purpose for each that we don’t want to miss by longing for something “better.”
The only way that I know to do this is to take my eyes off of what I wish life was like, accept the pain as something God has purposed for my good, and throw my empty, weary, and hurting body at His feet.
When adversity comes, let’s not dwell on former “better” days and miss the treasures that Christ has for us in seasons of trial. Instead, let’s remind ourselves of these reasons to be present in the season that God has allowed.
