If Circumstances were Different, Would Any of Us be Different?

Days are coming when this question will be relevant to many. Let’s follow the lie and then the truth laid out by the author below.

Lie: If circumstances makes us who we are, then we are a victim of our circumstances. If a victim, then we are not really responsible. In other words, we simply cannot help the way we are.

However in reality, God says we are responsible for our actions regardless of the circumstances. It is not the failures of others, but for our own responses and lives that is our responsibility.

Truth: our circumstances merely reveal what we are.

Truth: if we are not content within our present circumstances, we are not likely to be happy in any other set of circumstances.

Truth: we can trust a wise, loving, sovereign God to control every circumstance of our lives.

Truth: “Joy, peace, and stability come from believing that every circumstance that touch’s our lives has first been filtered through His fingers of love and is part of a great, eternal plan that He is working out in this world and in our lives.”
