So what do you do when a really bad day comes? When it seems like every area of your life is getting messed with? What is your response to that?
A lot of people blame God or at the very least, get really angry at Him. He CAN stop it, so why doesn't He? I think that a lot of the things that we really care about are basically meaningless to God...in the scope of ETERNITY. So many things we spend time on will not matter in our eternal life.
But if we have an eternal mindset all the time, even those "trivial" things can matter. I'm sure I won't be a cheerleader in heaven - BUT if it brings me a little social status and attention at school, I could use that influence to attract people to our Souled Out Club!! Then they may become curious about church...and maybe then about God...and maybe they would make a decision to follow Him for life... Now THAT'S eternally significant!! And it all started with cheerleading! If we change our perspective about the way we look at life, we can find God's hand everywhere!
So when the terrible days come...and they will...you will still be able to see Him moving in your life if you have your eternal lenses on. We go through seasons of mountains and valleys, and God doesn't leave us through any of it!
