We’re in a tough place, but we’re in a good position to see it through.
Those are the words I heard in a news broadcast this evening. Attributed to the University of Saskatchewan president. Regarding such minor things as finances, etc.
I’ve been thinking that’s not a bad Christian position to take. Our opponent figures he has us up against the wall. And some circumstances would appear to be that way. Finances are tough, job situations are intolerable, health is precarious, relationships are fragile, church circumstances test our faith.
But, we are in a good position to see it through.
I’m still working on the picture of a God of the universe expansively waving his hand. He slices delicately through whole galaxies. His breath blows gently upon one tiny speck of dust called earth. The curls of the breeze land next to us and somehow lift us up into the heavens so that we see with a greater awareness who God is and what He can do. That’s a good position in which to see “it” through.
May God lift you on His breath, His Spirit, to see that you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ.
Oh, and if you’re not on the wind with Jesus, consider that He is the one that can take a tough place and turn it into a good position to see the world the way He sees it! Let the breeze of Jesus fill your sails!
