Tough Times

From: New Life Daily Devotional

Matthew 11:29-30 "Take My yoke upon your shoulders and learn from Me for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will find rest, for My yoke is easy and My burden light."

Have you experienced a recent setback? If so, look for the lesson that God is trying to teach you. Instead of complaining about life’s sad state of affairs, learn what needs to be learned, change what needs to be changed, and move on.

View failure as an opportunity to reassess God’s will for your life. And while you’re at it, consider life’s inevitable disappointments to be powerful opportunities to learn more—more about yourself, more about your circumstances, and more about your world.

Life can be difficult at times. And everybody makes mistakes. Your job is to make them only once. And how can you do that? By learning the lessons of tough times sooner rather than later, that’s how.
