Oxygen

 

I was walking with a friend once on a day that was overcast, sprinkling slightly, a bit chilly, and it was just gloomy. I happened to mention to him what a crappy day it was. He got quite animated and corrected me. He said, “No! It’s a beautiful day out. The sun is out, we just can’t see it.” I stood corrected about my negative outlook, thanks to his positive one. He was looking at the big picture, I the small.

We’ve all experienced times like that. We have had days when nothing seemed to go right despite our best intentions and efforts. We’ve had times when we are strong in our walk, yet the curveballs of life and those little surprises we don’t want or expect come at us as if we were being tested. Those are the times we may find ourselves doubting God, or we question Him.

How do we deal with those times? How do we pull it all back together? It isn’t always easy to do so is it? Sometimes we simply have to get root level basic and think,

God is like oxygen. We can’t see Him, but we can’t live without Him.

 

 

Bottom Line Thought: That’s something that can help us during certain times in our lives, just as it can be used when sharing your faith with a non-believer, isn’t it?
