Good question my fellow Shepherd.
When adverse circumstances come my way, I've been a servant/shepherd of my Master Jesus long enough where I turn my attention to....
Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that feareth Yahweh, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of Yahweh, and stay upon his Elohim. (Word of Yahweh)
Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. (KJV)
Adverse circumstances, for me, must be understood. The only One who can direct my path is my Master Jesus, Therefore I must....
Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with the Messiah, seek those things which are above, where the Messiah sitteth on the right hand of Elohim.
3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Word of Yahweh)
Colossians 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
3:2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. (ESV)
I have found that in most of my adverse circumstances, there is something for me to learn. How I react to those circumstances, most of the time, will determine how long they will either bother me or bless me....The world, flesh, or the devil may be the author of the circumstances, or, a test from Yahweh has come my way to build my character, faith, and trust in Him.
The Holy Spirit Who is in me, thru prayer for wisdom and understanding, will guide me thru the circumstances, so I'll know how to function so that I can glorify the Name of Jesus instead of responding in the foolish flesh.
