Sunny days turned gray. Well-laid plans gone awry. Unity broken by misunderstandings or willful words of mischief. Ministry – both in our churches and schools – is affected by the circumstances that surround us. And sadly, often, these factors are out of our control.
Here is the good news. No matter the disheartening circumstances you face today, God is bigger. Stronger! In short – He has you in his hands. As such, we are called to move forward in faith, knowing we do not teach, preach, or work alone. (Ps. 16:8) Sister White has this encouraging counsel:
“You must master circumstances and not allow circumstances to master you. You can find energy at the cross of Christ. You can now grow by degrees, and conquer difficulties, and overcome force of habit. You need to be stimulated by the life-giving force of Jesus.” 3T, p. 46.
May God help us each, every day, to find life, faith, and hope at the cross of Christ!
