Under the circumstances
I remember in a past business I had when I or someone used to say, “Well, under the circumstances, I cannot do this or that”, I or someone else was always told, “Well, why are you under there?” This was said because I or other people were usually making excuses why they did not or where not going to do something.
However, in the realm of learning from God and growing in relationship with him, I want to be under the circumstances because God speaks to me there. I have been in several circumstances in my life where it was not very comfortable, but when I focused on God and what he was doing, He revealed something to me that I need to learn. do not be so eager to get out from under your circumstances, God wants to speak to you.
When Mary was approached by Gabriel the angel she was probably confused, scared, and wanted to get out of the circumstance. But she stayed and birthed the son of God and learned something bigger about her God.
Are you going through something now that you want to run from? do you think there might be some benefits in staying?
