When we face each day with thankfulness, even though we’re not sure what the day will bring…we can find beauty in the ordinary. Or as Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, we can see the goodness of God in every event, season, challenge, and difficulty. We can then grow spiritually through those trials and struggles as we rise above the challenges with His help. (II Thessalonians 1:3 & Isaiah 40:31) Finally, we can find His plan and purpose embedded in the whole process. For it’s His purpose that will always prevail…orchestrating everything for our good as we learn to trust in Him and our unique role in His overarching plan. (Proverbs 19:21, Romans 8:28. Ephesians 1:11)
