The Silver Lining

When your atmosphere is dark, cloudy, and gray; when there is no light in sight; when everything surrounding you seems hopeless.... look for the silver lining! A lot of times we get so caught up in the gloom and doom and our never ending battle, we are unable to see anything else.

Yet the Lord provides - He sends us some figment of hope, a reason to continue and believe that we will be released from our trial. That He will reveal His plan for our lives a piece at a time because if we were to see the whole picture, we would run.

Life is overwhelming at times. But why? Why do we allow life to get to that point - that point where we are ready to give up and walk away? I know why I do, I want the control. I don't do well with the unknown, yet I don't do well trying to handle it on my own either. Sure I give these things to God, but after a few days, or weeks maybe, I take them back. The impending doom (that I sometimes create) clouds my vision from seeing the silver lining God is just waiting to shine throughout my life! He wants, desires even, to guide me and walk with me through life. Especially when it become overwhelming.

I am not perfect. But I desire to commit my decisions and my thoughts to Christ. So every moment I try to take it back, I will re-entrust in Gods mighty hands.
