WAIT THREE DAYS It is important that we have the right attitude when troubles come our way. There are many instances in life when we go through trials and tribulations and because of these problems, we think that life is too unbearable. We need to renew our mind with Word of God and remember what Psalm 30:5 says, “…Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.” This is a good story that shows how we should always be quick to remember Gods promise and know that in the end we will be victorious because of our faith and trust in the Lord. I hope you will remember this message every time you feel like life is too hard to handle. +++ On Easter Monday morning, I paused for a moment on top of the steps leading to the avenue, now crowded with people rushing to their jobs. Sitting in her usual place inside a small archway was the old flower lady. At her feet, corsages and boutonnieres were parading on top of a spread- open newspaper. The flower lady was smiling, her wrinkled old face alive with some inner joy. I started down the stairs--then on an impulse, turned and picked out a flower. As I put it in my lapel, I said, “You look happy.” “Why not?” she answered. “Everything is good.” She was dressed so shabbily and seemed so very old that her reply startled me. “Youve been sitting here for many years now, havent you? And always smiling. You wear your troubles well.” “You cant reach my age and not have troubles,” she replied. “Only its like Jesus and Good Friday...” She paused for a moment. “Yes?” I prompted. “Well, when Jesus was crucified on Good Friday; that was the worst day for the whole world. When I get troubles, I remember that and then I think of what happened only three days later - Easter and our Lord rose from the dead. So when things go wrong, Ive learned to wait three days and somehow everything gets much better.” She smiled good-bye, but her words still follow me whenever I think I have troubles...“Give God a chance to help...wait three days.” +++ Never think about giving up on life because no matter how bad things may seem right now, God promises that Joy will come in the morning. I encourage you to be strong and know that your steadfast faith will be greatly rewarded and in the end will overshadow the problem that was in your life. We need to always have the right perspective and know that troubles will not always be able to keep us down. We will have good days and we will have bad days, but when the bad days arrive as they always do, it is important that we have the foresight to see that things will get better. There is always sunshine after the rain and we need to get the revelation that its not the end of the world when a problem comes our way. Be patient and know that your steadfast faith in the tough times of life will in the end be rewarded with Joy that is incomprehensible. Stay Blessed! >
