Very interesting conversation with a sister last week. She made the statement that there are "no bad days". There are days when comfortable things happen and uncomfortable things happen. We perceive the days when uncomfortable things happen as "bad days" because we are uncomfortable. However, if God is sovereign, and he is orchestrating things, those uncomfortable things are part of our sanctification (refining) process.
I found this thought fascinating! I love my comfort. I prefer the pat on the back over the kick in the pants. I want my teams to win and I want the promotion, bonus, discount and great deal. When they don't happen, is it a bad day? No, it is:
- discipline proving again that my heavenly father loves me.
- God working all things out for my good.
- my loving savior putting me thru the refiners fire to burn off impurities
All my days are good. Some time I just don't know it.
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
Psalm 16:6
