Law of the Opposite

“No matter how bad any particular situation is, there is always a seed of goodness attached to it.” Seni Hazzan
Recall an event that seemed devastating when it occurred, but now as you look back on it you can see the good in it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. (Rom. 7:21; NIV)
As I said when I started this series (8/6), in my reading over the past several years, I’ve been exposed to many lists of so-called irrefutable laws. Of all those lists, I have found the list of nine by Hazzan (from his book, Rebuilding from Ground Zero) to be the most useful and consistent with my Christian world view. I thought I would share one or two of those fundamental laws through the next several DGs. Don’t forget to leave comments as you feel led.
According to Hazzan, “This law states that everything has an opposite, that there are always two sides to a thing, and they are equal and opposite.” Ahhhh…finally there is some relief. We just need to understand it and apply it. Whenever something happens that we don’t like, we simply need to look for the good in it. According to this law, it is always there…somewhere. It may take gargantuan effort to find at first, but if you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is there, you will be motivated to keep looking and you will find it.
Once you find the good, dwell on that aspect of the situation and you will quickly begin to see things from a whole different perspective. Then you will begin to see things change. The beautiful part of this law is that looking for the good can easily become a habit. I believe you can see the effect of being a good finder will have on your life (as well as the lives of those around you.)
Prayer Power
Lord, we thank You for Your watchful care and are blessed by the ability You have given each one of us to step back and view situations that happen to us from a different perspective. Give us the grace to recall and use that magnificent gift when we most need it.
