We tend to judge our circumstances based on what we can see with our own eyes. Our perspective is pretty limited when it comes down to it. How cool is it that the God of the universe is actually at work in all of our circumstances, causing them to work out in exactly the way that will be for our absolute best in the long run?! This is not some trite thing we tell ourselves in order to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Nor is it a band-aid we quickly throw on someone else's genuinely horrific life circumstances. It is a deep truth we can cling to when we truly know the good, good God behind it all. Listen in!

Questions from today's episode: Is there something in your past that you have seen only as negative, and which God is inviting you now to see as redeemed? Is there something in your present that you wish would just go away, and which God is inviting you now to consider with hopeful curiosity? Are you willing to let Him work in these things? What is your heart saying to Him right now?

THIS is not exactly what we're talking about here...but it's still amusing!
