MODES of frustration in life are
merely the defeat of our disposition. We choose our disposition. But first,
there is something you must know about tests.
They can be managed very
effectively by imagining it’s us with God against the world; where the world is
destined to learn the hard way. It’s not that the rest of the world is evil or
anything. The rest of the world just doesn’t understand us as God understands
us.
That’s an important distinction.
When we know that God is for us,
never against us, we know He is for us in a war for understanding,
respect, appreciation and acceptance.
The test before us cannot be seen
as a pest when we imagine that it as the world’s ultimate compliment; he or she needs to be tested and knocked off
balance. Not being knocked off balance says something to the watching on
world. It also compels us to enjoy an unconquerable reality.
Times when I’ve been rejected in
life have been the pinnacle moments for me, especially when I’ve not deserved such
treatment. It’s like, ‘God, they’re against us! How foolish… don’t they know who they’re dealing with?’
It may sound arrogant. It isn’t. It’s the voice of resilience. Many people are
despondent when they’re rejected. Don’t be despondent, get even, by refusing to
be contorted by it.
Having belief in ourselves with God
is the essence of faith, and the worse things get the more we see victory is
just around the corner; whatever corner God chooses.
Tests are not pests. They’re
moments where we snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. That victory is not
something far off. That victory is in the moment we know nothing is against us
when God is for us. That is no cliché. Such a reality finds its fulfilment when
we can say, ‘Just you wait, and see.’
