THOSE Days.

We all have THOSE days.

You know what I mean.

Days that can only be described with an exhale. 

And then we all have THOSE weeks.

Which is just a continued series of THOSE days.

And then comes THOSE months.

Etc, etc.

You get the picture.

I'm always interested in how people react to THOSE days/weeks/months.

Do they just sit there and take it?

Do they try and pretend like it doesn't exist?

Do they totally freak out?

What do they do?

How do you handle THOSE days?

For me, I've tried more and more to not let myself be phased by THOSE days.

Albeit, sometimes that proves really difficult. 

But you know what...that's okay.

Life is hard.

It can really stink. 

But it doesn't last forever.

...Typically...

And the best part is, the Lord promises that suffering is followed by blessing. 

James 1:12

1 Peter 1:6-7

Matthew 5:10-12

The Lord also says that being a Christian means, suffering is going to come. 

He doesn't try to deny that.

It's going to be hard. 

Just embrace it.

1 Peter 4:12-14

2 Timothy 3:12

John 15:18-20

So don't be shocked when things get rocky.

And don't wish it away.

The Lord can get glory out of our sufferings.

And that's what our lives are all about.

Right?

Giving Glory to the Lord.

So don't limit the Lord to only being glorified when things are easy.

He can be glorified in all and through all.

And He's going to be.

So don't fear the suffering.

You don't have to ask for it.

Just don't try and "pray it away" when it comes.

See why it's there.

See what the Lord is trying to do.

See how much glory He's going to get.
