Proverbs 19

"People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the LORD." Proverbs 19:3

Yes, God allows us to go through trials and tribulations (see Job). Other times, our pain and strife is self inflicted. Since God gives us free will to choose Him or choose the world, we can find ourselves in tough situations. For example: did you score low on your test because God wasn't faithful or because you didn't study? Did you ignore all those red flags and your unsettled spirit about a person only to be heartbroken in the end? Instead of asking God "Why me?!" Repent, learn from mistakes, and give it to God. He can turn ANY situation around for His glory! 

Here's a Christmas bonus:
"Lots of people flock around a generous person; everyone's friend is the philanthropist" Proverbs 19:6

Consider what you can do/give this season, other than presents, and do it! Happy Thursday!
