When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.
(Psalm 142:3)
It's easy (and natural, for me) to blame others for the obstacles in my life. Traps lie everywhere in our lives, but God is watching over us and the Holy Spirit lives within us to guide us down the right path. "All" we have to do is accept the help that is put before us and within us by our Heavenly Father. Easy to write... hard to do.

You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
(Job 11:16)
When we are in the midst of trials it can be very difficult to see beyond our current situation. Somehow, with God's help and support, we get through the trials and live to see another day. The trial passes and we go on. Thankfully, when we look back, the memory of the trouble has softened and we have gained endurance, wisdom, and strength.

"The school of life offers some difficult courses, but it is in the difficult class that one learns the most."
~ Corrie ten Boom
God never promised an easy life. I haven't had an easy life, although I hesitate to complain too much, as I certainly know people that have had more trials in their lives than I've had in mine. If I hadn't had trials placed before me, I would never have had the appreciation for smoother days. I would have missed the joy of a resolved trial. I wouldn't have learned squat if life had been presented to me on a silver platter. Would I like life to be easier? ......you bet..... but truly, my life is richer because of the hardships. I'm a stronger and more compassionate person because of the trials, troubles, and hardships and I thank God for every day that He gives me.....good and bad.

You will surely forget your trouble,
recalling it only as waters gone by.
Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
(Job 11:16-17)
How wonderful to think that one day all of my troubles will be forgotten.....they will diminish and be replaced with bright, joyful days surrounded by God's love and grace.
