How do you frame the events of your life?

SUMMARY: The perspective from which you interpret events in your life determines their power and effect on you. Seeing things from a biblical perspective and adopting a positive, optimistic narrative of life can lead to a healthier, more creative life. It's important to write down your visions and goals, and to see events in your life as potentially redemptive and purposeful. Even difficult moments can be opportunities for growth and spiritual development. An example of this is Jacob's dream in Genesis 28, where he was in an uncertain place in his life, but God appeared to him and gave him a vision of a bright future.
In Genesis, Jacob has a dream in which God tells him that he will inherit the land and his offspring will be like the dust of the earth. God assures him that he is with him and will not leave him until he has fulfilled his promise. Jacob awakens and realizes that God is present in that place and fears it is the gate of heaven. The perspective with which we interpret events in our life is important in navigating the storms of life. Joseph's story illustrates that God uses difficult situations to position us for his purposes. Joseph realizes that God used his brothers' actions to bring him to a position of power to save his family. Joseph's response shows that he understands God's sovereignty and plan.
Joseph tells his brothers that he was sent to Egypt by God to preserve their lives during the famine. He reminds them that they did not send him, but it was God's plan all along. The perspective we have on our circumstances determines our reaction and effect on our lives. As Christians, we must trust that everything that happens in our lives is for our good and God's glory. We must look for the hidden gold in our trials and live hopeful lives. We have the resources of heaven in our favor and can face any situation with joy and confidence in God's faithfulness.
