Golden Nuggets from Lyndsay
- The curse of “expectations''....if you get what you expected, then you are not grateful. If you do not get what you expected, then you are disappointed. It is a lose-lose scenario.
- We must remember that God knows us, loves us and has a Sovereign plan for use even when we are amidst confusing and irritating things….especially when you cannot “fix others or issues”
- Difficult things draw us to God.
- We can choose, by faith, to give thanks because we know and trust that God is good, that He loves us and that He is Sovereign.
- We often consider circumstances as GOOD or BAD when a better definition would be HARD vs EASY.
- Rom 8:28 invites us to GIVE thanks even if we don’t FEEL thankful….as it is an act of the WILL and not our EMOTIONS.
- Emotions are not reliable. We often have to choose from our WILL.
- Remember to look back at the faithful hand of God. Hindsight can bring wisdom.
- “Who am I to think that I know better than God does?”
- Stop complaining…from our mouth or within our hearts…the antidote is to give thanks and remember the goodness of God.
- Remember to “go to the Throne before you go to the phone.”
