Circumstances
The circumstances in Utah equaled 100 inches of snow!
While scrolling back through old photos on my phone attempting to find a recipe, I came across a screen shot of what I think was a Jesus Calling quote and I began to ponder.
"People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well and sad of frustrated when things don't turn out as they'd hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet, it is possible to be content on any and every situation. Philippians 4:12
Circumstances : "the sum of essential and environmental factors; state of affairs."
There is never a circumstance where we are alone.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:8
There is never a circumstance in which God doesn't have a plan of action.
The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Psalm 33:11
When my husband's mother was alive and married to a husband who coached football and basketball most of his life, she would holler to him as he was leaving the house... "Nobody likes a loser." That's so not true. As the Steelers lost to Buffalo Monday night I still desperately love the QB, for my love for him is not based on performance. Neither is Jesus' love for us based on performance or the circumstances in which we are thrown. You see, God loved us while we were yet sinners.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Jesus will walk with us through all circumstances and use them for God's glory.

“Strong Enough” Matthew West
