The Way It Is

A we live our lives we must understand that we are not living in the world spoken of in Genesis 1 & 2, which was a time of perfection where nothing bad could happen.  No, we are living in what happened in Genesis 3 which shows how the man and woman fell and once that happened it ushered in the time that we now know even though we still want to live as if we are in chapters 1 & 2.  This becomes a problem because when we have an idea or expectations and preconceived notions of how things should be or go, when we come to the reality it is much different.  Many times, we dream of things going right and never do entertain the possibility of something going wrong, but we need to know that adversity is built into the life we now live and it will find us no matter what we think and that needs to be accepted so we can begin to learn how to deal with it and much more.
