Some people are paralyzed by difficulty. They stare at it,

waiting for it to move before they continue living.

That isn’t the only option, however.

Difficulty can be used as an opportunity to advance;

it all depends on your perspective. Consider the apostle Paul.

He was placed under house arrest.

Most people would expect that release from jail would be the key to moving forward;

however, Paul viewed it differently. While in jail,

he wrote letters to churches he had visited in the past.

Those letters are now included in the Bible.

Paul reframed adversity as an opportunity for good rather than evil.

What will you do the next time adversity comes?
