Saturday, August 15th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

They have a saying in Vienna, Austria:

“The situation is hopeless, but not serious.”

It’s an interesting contradiction in terms. Yet life is truly a mixture of optimism and pessimism, of hope and despair, of sunshine and shadow.

Sometimes the same situation can have both elements in it at the same time! But faith is finer than optimism. It has none of the distortions of optimism. It is more lasting, less fragile. It’s fine for us to be optimistic, but far better to be believers.

Paul in Romans 1:17 tells us this: “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”


"God, when things are not as I want them, thank You for being with me.
Amen."

Follow God and His plan for your life walking by faith in Him.
