I may not know much about you, but I’m pretty sure you’re looking for a breakthrough in some part of your life.
It may be in your career / finances / relationships / health...or any combination of these or other factors...but we need some chips to fall into place.
I want to present to you a perspective that I think will help, whether your breakthrough comes or not. That perspective is called benefit. Your circumstances will never happen the way you want them to. Life will always find a way to kick you in the rear. We live in a broken world...what else should we expect. But one key to finding an inner peace that we’re all looking for is to find the benefit. Every situation viewed through the lens of “this is working for my benefit” will change everything!
When things go your way, it’s easy to tell ourselves, “this is working for my benefit.”
But when things don’t go your way (and most of the time, they don’t), we still should be telling ourselves, “this is working for my benefit.” There is a lesson in everything, you just have to be looking for it to understand it.
Just remember, you’ll never be successful if you’re blaming others (this includes God). Find the benefit...find the lesson...and then you’ll discover the truth.
This is why Romans 8:28 is so powerful...Paul tells us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
All things...
Didn’t say all things were good...but that God works them for our good.
You have a purpose...and He’s working them out toward that purpose if you’ll just trust Him.
Find the benefit. Change your story...change your life!
