Look for the Gold!

On New Year’s Eve, during worship, I had a vision of a vein of gold in a rock. It’s not easy to extract this gold, the rock must be crushed. The Lord showed me that many of us were crushed last year as God was extracting the gold.

Yesterday, I was going through my list of all the good things that happened in my life last year. I have been writing a list of the good things that happen weekly for several years. We often forget both the big and small things God does. If anyone looked at this long list of good things, you’d think I’d had the best year of my life. It changed my perspective and the Lord reminded me of the gold in the rock. Let’s change our perspective and look at the gold in our lives. We may not see it right away, sometimes the rock is being crushed before the gold appears. At times it takes longer than we’d like, but God always works all things out for good for those who love Him! (Romans 8:28)
