“Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?” – Judges 6:14, WEB
Not everything happens according to our plans. No matter how carefully we execute our steps, no matter how much brain storming we make in anticipation of future problems, there will be times when events will take us by surprise.
When they do however, it isn’t the time to blame ourselves or cry endlessly in grief for failure. When unexpected things happen, it is time to rise up and tap our hidden strength to face the challenges in our way.
We face the problems not as we imagined them to be, but for what they truly are at present. We adjust our plans. We think of better solutions. We move, we look for other resources; we do what can still be done.
“When the unexpected happens, it’s time to discover also unexpected courage and unexpected strength.” – Jocelyn Soriano
