Reversal.
Would we be happy with a reversal in our lives? I am very content with my life right now. I love my wife, my kids, my family, my home, my job, my co-workers, my friends. I love my community, my service, the people I meet and speak to, the places I go.
But if things were to be reversed, would I still be happy? Like Job? Or even like the apostles? They were happy following Jesus, but when He was taken to be crucified, were they still happy?
I shudder to think that a reversal in my life can happen. But, I have to strengthen my resolve to say that even if it does happen – then God will still be my strength. And I will find happiness in that.
