You and I live life in real time. We get only one shot at this thing.
We learn (...or not...) as we go.
Three successive phases:
Situation: Once in a while, life gets our attention. A natural disaster close to
home, a family crisis, a health scare. Once in a greater while,
God gets our attention.
Interpretation: We cope and grow as two fundamental adjustments occur:
- God refocuses our Perspective (He 12:2)
- God realigns our Priorities (Mt 6:33)
Application: Lessons to take away and put into practice:
- Don’t sweat the small stuff.
- Don’t miss the big stuff.
