I love the line in the devotional that says “God is more interested in what you are becoming than in what is happening to you.” He is using what is happening to us to help us become more like Jesus, if we will let Him work in our lives. We have to be persistent, faithful, determined and dogged in our decision to do the next right thing. Not just the next thing…the next right thing. Someone is always watching for us to fail, to fall flat on our faces and to spew anger at God. That is what the people in the world do daily and they want the Christians to be just like them. Instead, we are to take the circumstances of our lives, learn from them and grow from them, knowing that what happens is not outside of God’s control and mercy. So, what are you becoming? God wants you to be more like His Son and will use circumstances that life throws at us to cultivate the fruit He wants us to bear for Him.
