Sometimes
life is so hectic, a trouble-free day appears impossible. The smallest task that should take only a moment
turns into such complexity that a whole day seems to evaporate. Life on the
front burner takes energy and determination to resist defeat rather than to dissolve
into frustration and anger. Discouragement has the power to control any situation.
God has given us the capacity to
change, regardless of how diminished that capacity feels to us. Where there is
motivation to find solutions, no problem is insurmountable. Resilient people
learn to activate faith and hope to serve as a channel for transcending anger
and frustration. Faith and hope create order and dignity, even in chaos and
pain.
Jesus, in Matthew 5:41, instructs his listeners
to be second-mile people, giving more than what's required to any challenge. Second-milers
know they'll be rewarded, if only by enhancing their integrity. Life is
complicated and hectic, so keep your attitude fixed on faith in Christ Jesus. Faith
is God's gift to you.
