Frustrated

Yesterday, I got frustrated with unexpected traffic in our area. Two accidents had occurred at different places along a major thoroughfare. To be honest, traffic is rarely a problem in this area. But in my mind, I let the circumstances become a bigger problem than it really was. I forgot about the greater power that I had available to me in Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:12-13 says, “I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Whether we live in the United States or another country, in poverty or with riches, amidst family or in a land far away, God’s strength is available to us. By His strength, we don’t just survive, but we are able to thrive in all circumstances.
