Treasuring God's Words

Tweet

There really is no way we can elude problems. At every turn and bend, we are bound to meet one. Truly so for our earthly journey is never a smooth one. Ours is not a worry-free world. And we cannot afford to shop on track seeing a problem looming in the distance. We have to move forward and risk an encounter as there could be no other way out. Making a detour or backtracking, as the case maybe, is not a guarantee that we won't be meeting the same problem, or another one for that matter, elsewhere. We may even find ourselves in a tighter situation. So when a problem comes along, no matter how trivial it may be, there is no recourse but to work out a solution. Yes, for there is no way that the problem is getting away from s unless it has been dealt with accordingly. And problems, when not solved, have a way of recurring or haunting people, as others would put it, with even more devastating effects. So the earlier we are done with one, the better. Successfully getting through a dilemma, we can heave a sigh of relief. And with a shrug of the shoulders we could then whistle "Whew! That was close." Even though our physical being gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but what cannot be seen last forever.(IICor.4:16-18) Assured of God's promise, we thus go about our daily lives treasuring His words.
