Joel Osteen told of a rather long period some years ago, when the weather was completely overcast for days. Finally, one morning as he was feeling a bit down in his office looking out of the window at the bleak, dark and dismal scene; the clouds started to disperse and the sun finally lit up the sky. As this happened, Joel said that a feeling of wellbeing overcame him as the sun shone brightly everywhere, especially in his previously cloudy mind. Surely this is an excellent analogy for the way life works at times for all of us?....Yes It Is!
There's no doubt about it, we all go through periods in our lives when our minds are bathed in darkness as clouds of doubt and disbelief roll across our minds and lives. However, we need to always keep in mind The FACT, that on cloudy days, even though we can't actually see it, the sun is still shining; however, its rays are temporarily blocked by the clouds.
So My Friend, whenever you start to get a little bit down and perhaps despondent, maybe ever quite depressed and a little bit desperate as all appears to be quite dark in your life and affairs; take heart for as today's title puts it 'Cloudy Days Pass'.....Yes They Do! Likewise, the clouds of doubt presently permeating your thinking will indeed give way very soon to The Sunshine of Success.
But D. Paul it's easy for you to tell me that 'Cloudy Days Pass' and that the difficulties I'm presently experiencing will pass with time, but how do you cope with the difficult times in your life? Good question and here's the answer. #1. By just being aware of what I have stated here today thus realizing that better times are already on their way, and #2. By staying in touch with your 'Source of Strength', The Creator, God through daily prayer and meditation. Yes indeed, believe me, God has got your back, figuratively speaking. So put your complete trust in HIM during the difficult, cloudy times, and He will lead you back into The Sunshine of Success, believe me.
