Why Sit On A Cactus?

by Kay Heitsch

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus but you don't need to sit on it. JM

We've all been given 'cactus' situations in life. If we keep dwelling on the negative things that have happened on our journey it's like sitting on a cactus. We keep hurting ourselves.

Our Bible text says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT

We can choose to look for the positive things in our lives that the LORD has in store for us. Then when we have cactus situations we won't be tempted to sit on them.
