A situation is a set of circumstances in which one finds oneself. A circumstance is a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or action. Simply put; a situation is the thing that’s happening and the circumstance is the condition of that thing.
The circumstances are as endless as the situations. This is how we learn and grow. From our walk: as toddlers, little kids, kids, tweens, teens, young adults, adults, older adulthood to senior citizens we learn that certain behaviors or actions lead to sets of circumstances and land us in situations…
I think the mind automatically goes towards the negative lessons and I feel it’s because those hurt and had or are having the most impact on our lives. The hardest lessons learned, are the ones that sound the alarm bells in our head, the next time we get close to wrong choices, that lead to circumstances and situations we don’t desire. I have that T-shirt don’t want another one. At least we hope the alarm bells go off and that we heed the warnings!!!
We are human and made of flesh and bone…we are not perfect and never will be. We will make mistakes that we need to fix. We will make some choices that will forever haunt. We will fall, scrape our knees, stand back up, brush ourselves off and start over again. Why??? Because that’s the human spirit within us!!! If you also have the Holy Spirit within you, then you also have those still little voices from our Lord giving you leadings, promptings and direction. But you have to be still and listen.
You may have found or find yourself in a situation that wasn’t of your choosing: your health is in a spot of need, the company you work for has shut its doors, you found yourself trapped in a spot and the walls had closed in and none of the choices were good but you needed to make one and are now dealing with changing the circumstances and situation it left you in.
Jesus wants nothing but the best for your life; he’s your safe haven when the high winds are blowing, he’s your road map of this tangled world called life, he’s the love you possibly didn’t receive as a child or aren’t receiving as an adult, he’s the companion you might need until that special one shows up, he’s that life preserver when you feel like you’re drowning, he’s the might physician when your body is broken…He Is God!!! He Is Yours!!!
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 NLT “Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you what path to take.”
Deuteronomy 31-6 NLT “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
I don’t know where you are in your circumstances or what situation you are living with but I pray peace in your heart, strength in your spirit and love in your world. Remember this, nothing stays the same and this to shall pass! Have a blessed day and Thank you for joining me. 🥰
