I was watching a Christian program on TV. The pastor speaks about a powerful insight and program he would like all to know and embrace as a way to fully live an abundant life. That is Gods' Promise, Problem and Providence he has for each one of us. The argument goes like this: just like the Isralites were being led out of Egypt, God gave his people a Promise of freedom, he than gave them a Problem (being in the wilderness) and lastly he fulfills his promise through his infinite Providence in the promised land (For those who survived the problem to see it). He said the only way out of a Problem is "go through it" to receive God's Providence.
In Chapter 9 of Luke's gospel, Jesus talks about denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily and follow him. It's convenient to think about our crosses as problems that God gave us to solve in order that we are fit to claim God's providence when we solved it. Does Jesus have a deeper meaning here in what really are our crosses?? Come share your thoughts....
God Bless,
Maria
