As soon as you woke up, you could tell that it was going to be all day long trying to correct some things. I bet most of us have. If not all of us. They come with being human. Being part of this world. Recently, I had one. Nothing bad had happened. Nothing I couldn\u2019t handle. Just a bunch of inconveniences. Things that required my attention that kept me from getting things done that I planned on doing. Days like these come with doing what I get to do each day. So, instead of being complacent, I chose to stick it out and get it done. And as I was doing so, it became apparent that God had orchestrated the whole day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing what I had to do required me to make several stops. And what was awesome about it was that each stop lead to new relationships being created. Relationships that I see as working together in the future. Relationships that I see God using to serve others. As I look back at, it really was a blessed day. A very good day. Sometimes we need days like that to put things back into perspective for us. As I said, nothing bad happened. Nothing that couldn\u2019t be turned around. It just required me spend the day working on those instead of what I had planned on doing. And as I learn frequently, God\u2018s plans are greater than what I could ever plan for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible tells us to be thankful in all things. The Bible tells us to praise God through all things. The Bible tells us that his plans for us are glorious. Sometimes we lose sight of what the Bible tells us. It\u2019s easy to do. We are human. We get caught up in the day-to-day things that we face. But what\u2019s important is that we don\u2019t let what we have to do\u2026blind us from what we are called to do. What is important is that we don\u2019t let what we have to do\u2026keep us from realizing that God is in control. I know it\u2019s hard to see the glory in times that are difficult. Times that we struggle. I know it\u2019s hard to see the glory in times where we don\u2019t understand why we are going through difficulties. But if we look, if we truly look, we can see God in everything. So today, let\u2019s try to do that. Through the good and the bad. Through the thick and thin. Let\u2019s try to see God in everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had one of those days where you were glad to see it come to an end?
