Most things in life can be changed around, they’re not cemented down. True it may take some effort, but they can be positioned to your advantage with a bit of ingenuity. It’s amazing what a little inspiration, with some perspiration, can accomplish. On life’s pathway, one need not stumble at the same stone habitually; it can be placed to the side.
There are people who spend their whole lives living under the circumstances, rather than above them. It’s possible to turn the tables, so to speak. You can make many unpleasantries work for you, if you so desire. Stumbling stones can be made stepping stones. Someone may have defrauded you by selling you a piece of property that was all rocks, but you can build your house with them.
Handicaps need not hinder; they can be made to help. The oyster makes its disease into a pearl. If you’re shipwrecked and can’t swim, you can get safe to shore by using a broken piece of the boat (Acts 27). Zacchaeus didn’t let his small stature stop him from seeing Jesus in that towering crowd, he climbed a tree.
Your outlook determines the outcome. You can major on the problem, or see the potential. Some only see the obstacle, others the opportunity. Out of the twelve who went in to spy out Canaan, ten saw giants, Joshua and Caleb saw God.
