God Knows How To Get Your Attention

There are times we must go through things in life for God to get our attention! Have you ever found yourself getting closer to God after a troubling or challenging situation in your life? That is not by accident! God wants us to put him first in our lives. He wants to be part of our decisions, our efforts, our pursuits and goals. He wants to lead and guide us to our purpose and a path that not only benefit ourselves but others as well.

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is the rewards of learning from life's experiences. It is the jewel that is buried deep in our trials and tribulations. The jewel is the testimony of the test that God brought you through. Though the storms sometimes rage in our lives, we are not alone. We serve a mighty BIG God that is bigger than your current situation. He knows the beginning and the end. All he wants us to do is trust that he has our hand, trust that he will be there like a dedicated father to his son, with unconditional love.

In life, we all make mistakes! The growth piece is to learn from them and sour to another level in God. He teaches through life experiences and challenges us to overcome them with him on our side. I challenge you today to look for the jewel in your own circumstances. What is God trying to tell you? What is the jewel that you must learn and share with others? Be of good courage, knowing we "walk by faith and not by sight". There is triumph and joy on the other side of your obstacles!
