Complain, complain, complain…that’s all some people do. You know—the “glass-half-empty” people. God doesn’t want us living like that. We are His children, the “King’s Kids”. Yet, how can we possibly live a better life in a world that seems so bitter and full of evil? Viewpoint, viewpoint, viewpoint!
From God’s perspective, all is well. He has a plan and we are chugging along just fine towards His final chapter. Don’t get me wrong now, there IS sin and tragedy and hardship all around us, but there is beauty and treasure and holiness, too.
It is what you train yourself to see and think on that is the key! And that training must be based on your obedience to the Word of God.
(Scriptural References: Deuteronomy 30:9-10; 2 Chronicles 31:21; Psalm 1:3; Psalm 23:5; Psalm 31:19; Matthew 25:34; John 14:2; Luke 6:38)
