“if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence.” (Page 133, Big Book)
Sometimes people say they’re facing a terrible situation.
I have made the decision not to cause my own misery by classifying situations as such.
I had a situation last year that induced me to engage in lots of spiritual activities. I therefore decided to call the situation a blessing.
By immediately describing any challenge as an opportunity to demonstrate God’s omnipotence, I’m naming it a blessing before the ego has a chance to get in there and call it a disaster.
