This morning I was writing this blog on overcoming adversity when my computer froze and I lost all of what I was writing. Yes, I probably need to write my blog offline, then paste it when I am online so I will have a copy. However, I find it interesting in the midst of writing about life's difficulties, that life is difficult.
Jesus said, "You will have troubles in this world. But take heart, I have overcome the world." One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the healing of the blind man in John 9. The disciples asked Jesus, "Who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither, this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."
I have decided to view my troubles from God's perspective. Some of my difficulties are totally out of my control, others are consequences of poor decisions. Regardless, I am believing that my life is going to be God's Display. We have a choice: we can be a poster child for the pain of the world, or a creative display of the work of God.

David: Thanks for your writing! You likely didn't expect to get a comment on something written last September. I've used your story, God's Display, on my blog and gave credit where due. I trust that is alright. It was such a good piece of writing. Check out my site at:
