We
as people tend to view obstructions negatively, as having power to diminish our
happiness and peace. Obstacles impede progress toward planned objectives while
becoming a source of frustration. Changing one's perspective is difficult, but
it’s possible to view obstructions as teachers and opportunities for positive change.
Perhaps God intends for obstructions to slow us down so we can view life
differently.
How can obstructions become teachers for
positive change? A doctor in his early forties who seemed perfectly healthy
began to feel severe and chronic fatigue and reluctantly submitted to a
complete physical exam. Immediately his colleagues confirmed he had cancer.
Any Illness
is an obstruction to health and must be confronted. For this doctor, cancer was
a wake-up call. It taught him to value life and every moment as precious. Jesus
remind us not to get so caught up in the pressures of living we forget what
matters for eternity. “This is your day, the day God has made, so rejoice and
be glad for it.”
