The Reaction of My Life...

I thought this was a different perspective...
"Once you have the right relationship with God... remember that whatever your circumstances may be, you have been placed in them by God. And God uses the reaction of your life to your circumstances to fulfill His purpose," (more here).
Interesting that God wants to use "the reaction of my life". How often do I find myself in a crappy situation and I react like a bratty kid? Or at least on the inside cuss and fuss... Looks like I need some more fruit growing on this tree.

God's Incredible Waste?

I read this today and I learned something...
"Look at God’s incredible waste of His saints, according to the world’s judgment. God seems to plant His saints in the most useless places. Yet Jesus never measured His life by how or where He was of the greatest use. God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be." [more here: My Utmost for His Highest]
I am encouraged because no matter what, as I am seeking God I can trust that I am where I am supposed to be. Nice.
