Falling on my knees

By John Kubicek

Sometimes it takes a winter in our lives to realize just how much God blesses us.

And just when you are thinking things are getting a lot better, we deal with floods of problems...

I don't want to go too deep here, but I seem to be seeing a very Hegelian way of looking at the way we need to deal with our trials and tribulations. We can see the beauty in even the most harsh conditions, but, there are also times in which we find ourselves facing very undesirable conditions, where our efforts to recover would seem to be overwhelming.

In the two videos above, I showed both the way that we can find the beauty in our adversities, and also the way that there can be things in our lives that are beyond our ability to deal with on our own. Either way, though, look at the way God has found new ways to teach us. There are just those times that maybe we aren't able to turn lemons into lemonade, at least, not without God's assistance. There are those things that are not just beyond our control, but also where we need to realize that we need God to show His Mercy. And that is a fundamental concept that we should really start doing more to learn.
