Learning to
be content in undesirable circumstances can sometimes be quite challenging, but
it can be done. As women, we strive to accomplish many hats in life such as, becoming a wife, mother, and a successful business woman. We find
ourselves establishing timelines when to have these goals accomplished and
become quite disappointed when we don’t meet our deadlines. We often lose focus
on the purpose that God has established for our lives when we look at our peers
and start to make comparisons to their lives: Why am I not married and with a family by now or why have I been passed
up for a promotion or missed out on career opportunities? When we start
comparing our lives to our peers, which can lead to self-pity and wallowing in
our circumstances, we will make unwise choices out of desperation.
God knows
the desires of every woman’s heart and He wants us to learn to be content in
any given circumstances that He allows to come our way. God has a purposeful
and enriching life for every woman, that is, every woman who decides to
let God order her steps. When you
let God lead you down the path that He has for you, the ultimate message that
you send to God is, “I totally and completely surrender to the plans that You
have for my life”.
