00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:11,000
Some people are paralyzed by difficulty. 
They stare at it,

2
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:14,100
waiting for it to move before they continue 
living.

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,600
That isn’t the only option, however.

4
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:20,300
Difficulty can be used as an opportunity 
to advance;

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,100
it all depends on your perspective. Consider 
the apostle Paul.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,400
He was placed under house arrest.

7
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:32,400
Most people would expect that release from 
jail would be the key to moving forward;

8
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,300
however, Paul viewed it differently. While 
in jail,

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,300
he wrote letters to churches he had visited 
in the past.

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,300
Those letters are now included in the Bible.

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,800
Paul reframed adversity as an opportunity 
for good rather than evil.

12
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:51,200
What will you do the next time adversity 
comes?

00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:54,100
