M Scott Peck has written a best-selling book called The Road Less Travelled. It is an old book now but starts with a great piece of wisdom. Peck writes, "Life is difficult... once this is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters." A very simple and very helpful truth. We go through life assuming it should be good. We live like we deserve an easy, trouble-free life. Then, when life is difficult, we become angry and resentful. Where did we get that idea from? Why do we assume life should be good? We should not be surprised when life proves to be tough. Instead, we should expect this to happen, not as a pessimist but as someone who has a positive approach to each challenge we face. A key reason we can be positive is that we are not in this alone. God has promised to be there with us in the hard times. This is a wonderful promise which allows us to face the most difficult times with peace. God loves you and will never leave you. “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:8 🎬 If you’re a pastor or small group leader, I made this video for you as you make plans for 2027. |
