Flying with Thursday's Word Deal by Brenda Smith

Thursday's Word

Patrik Goethe
WORD:  DEAL

DEFINED: Take measures concerning (someone or something), especially with the intention of putting something right.

SCRIPUTRE: Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG FORTRESS; THE GODLY RUN TO HIM AND ARE SAFE. (Proverbs 18:10).

THE HAND YOU HAVE BEEN DEALT. Unfortunately, you don’t get to trade cards with anyone else or pay extra to upgrade your hand. The cards you get are the cards you play. Each of us is dealt a hand when we come into the world. Some will have every advantage: happy family life, good genetics, a safe home, etc. They have been dealt a great hand. Others may be born into poverty, a broken family, child abuse, etc. They have been dealt a little tougher hand. The important point to remember is that you cannot change the hand you’re dealt. You don’t decide what circumstances you are born into and it does no good to complain about them or expect that they will determine your success. Many people think that being born into money or prestige will guarantee their happiness. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Others will use their hard circumstances as a crutch for why they don’t succeed. They take a look at the hand they were dealt and fold immediately.

The hand you were dealt cannot be changed, but the way you play it can.
Do not give up where you are. Take those cards you have been dealt and create a Victory in your life!! Find ways to use those cards for benefit and growth. Own that hand and you will end up a winner.

YOU are not alone.

May the Lord continue to bless you is my prayer.
