When God Makes Lemonade
Don Jacobson
I primarily read books that challenge my mind. I love learning new things and gaining
insights into scriptural truths. I read
few novels. Jacobson has compiled a
great collection of stories who share a common theme. Life often hands us unpleasant circumstances,
and usually we attribute those negative factors to the devil.
We would love to believe that we are intelligent enough
to choose the path in life that would bring us the greatest success as well as
satisfaction. God is more concerned with
developing our character and expanding our horizons. In each of the stories, some kind of “tragedy”
occurs. Most of the time the people
involved could not see how those events would be the things that would bring
them great benefit. But serving an
all-wise and loving God we discover that God knows far more than we do about
ourselves.
In our most difficult circumstances God not only shows
His true character, but we discover a lot about who we are. When we can embrace those disappointments, we
discover that God had planned it all along to bring us into His plans. We reap the greatest benefit when we accept
those difficult circumstances with patience and joy. “All things still work together for our good.” Read with anticipation for you will be
blessed. I’ve discovered as I’ve aged
that life stories touch me deeper than ever.
