God allows Unexpected Circumstances to give you a chance to do the right thing

The unexpected moments in your life are sometimes God’s blessings. You may not feel it because they are not wrapped according to your expectations, but when you listen to God and ask for His wisdom, He will then open your eyes to the things that you fail to appreciate. So when you face circumstances you think you can’t overcome, come to God and ask for help. Maybe He is just giving you a chance to apply the lessons that you learned. It’s actually your opportunity to do the right thing. You can always look at the situation in your life in a different lens. You can treat them as either a blessing or a curse. You can approach them according to God’s ways or according to your own understanding. You always have a choice. Maybe you feel like you are trapped because you don’t want to make difficult choices.

Every new thing that you experience will either make or break you. It only depends on how you approach them. People never look at problems in the same way. We all have different perspective in life that somehow shapes us into who we are. So instead of trying to change your circumstances, choose to do the right thing by rethinking your ways and actions. Change happens first in your mind. When your thoughts are not right, your actions will also reflect them. So before making any decision, check first the way you perceive things. What are the areas that you badly need to change? What is the mindset that you need to break in order for you to see the good things behind your problems?

Every blessing comes from God, and sometimes we can’t appreciate His ways because they appear so different from what we know. Remember that He is full of wisdom. He can absolutely use anything and anyone to teach and help you grow. Most of the time, He will take you on unexpected journeys to give you a chance to reconsider your ways. He is the perfect teacher because He teaches lessons that will not just change your life but it will also bless those who are broken and in pain. So try to look at the situation that you are in right now. What if God purposely allowed you to experience that so that you would realize what’s wrong and right?

If you happen to face difficulties in the season that you are in, then the best thing that you can do is remember the lessons that God taught you. Maybe He is giving you a chance to assess yourself to see if you are really learning or not. Let that moment be an opportunity for you to become a better person. Listen to God, and do not be afraid to commit mistakes. You are still growing and learning. There may be pain along the way, but what’s important is you discover the principles that God wants you to hold on to.
