"Which do you see—blue sky or clouds?"

I was driving to an out of state speaking engagement when I started noticing the sky. There were clouds in the sky, and there was almost an equal proportion of clouds and blue sky.

For a moment, I thought, "It’s going to rain" because of the clouds. Then I thought, "Well no, it’s clearing up" because there was just as much blue sky as there were clouds. I wondered, "So, is it partly cloudy or partly sunny today?"

Is your life like this sky at times? Sometimes it seems like the dark clouds are forming on your life’s horizon and something ominous is about to happen. But then you look at your life from another perspective and it’s clearing up; something positive happens and life isn’t so dark.

You and I choose whether it’s partly cloudy or partly sunny in life, don’t we? You can focus on the dark clouds and continuously run for cover from rainstorms that may never show. Or, you can focus on the blue sky and prepare for a bright day. Either way, you choose whether your life is partly cloudy or sunny.

Ask God to help you choose as you make a life, not just a living today.
