A friend of mine shared a wonderful reminder on our closed group chat on FB yesterday. It was about the lessons learnt from the life of Joseph.
This 'To Do' list is a wonderful personal reminder and a blessing for me, as I tend to fall off the wagon faith-wise.
And I hope it is a blessing for you too, as much it has been for me.
~~~~~~~
Trust that God is working everything in your life for your good (Rom. 8:28).
Believe that the heavenly Father is in control of everything.
Accept that the Lord’s ways are higher than ours
(Isa. 55:8-9).
Refuse to make quick judgments in the midst of a crisis.
Focus on the Father instead of circumstances. Meditate on Scripture, which fuels your awareness of God’s unconditional love and comforting presence.
Avoid dwelling on the pain. It’s normal to feel the sting of loss and suffering, but instead of fixating on the grief, go to the ultimate Source of strength—God Himself.
Recall past crises and the opportunities that followed.
(See Romans 8:29.)
Let go of anger immediately
(Eph. 4:26).
Submit to God’s will.
Demonstrate a spirit of gratitude.
Determine to view the trial as a chance to see God at work.
Refuse to listen to unscriptural interpretations of the situation.
Remain in constant prayer, listening for the Father’s instructions. God will often use hardship to draw you closer to Himself.
Do not give in to fluctuating emotions.
Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. You can’t go wrong by trusting Him with your entire life.
