The Slingshot
What determines how far a stone from a slingshot will fly? The answer is how far back you’ve pulled the band of the slingshot. If you study the lives of people who have made a difference, you will find that often their success was not in spite of the life challenges but because of them. They took what happened to them and used it to help them grow. They stopped telling people how much they were wronged and began to look for blessings in their challenges and looking they found them. Their slingshot was pulled back far, but as a result they soared even further. The bible is full of stories of people who found God in the middle of their difficult circumstances and then went on to become who they were meant to be.
