YHC recently got some tough news. An exciting career move was suddenly changed at the last minute.Taken away in an instant. YHC has given himself to this moment to mope. However, a summary read last week has come to mind.Kick the dirt and be mad
David Goggins, in his book Never Finished said,
“It’s an unwritten natural law of the universe that you will be tested. You will get smacked in the face. A hurricane will land on your head. It’s inevitable for all of us. Yet, we are not formally taught how to handle unexpected adversity. We have sex education, fire drills, active-shooter drills, and curriculum on the dangers of alcohol and drugs, but there is no rug-just-got-pulled-out-from-under-you class. Nobody teaches how to think, act, and move when disappointment, bad news, malfunction, and disaster inevitably strike.”
Think about that. No one ever teaches us how to handle failure, disappointment, bad news, or disaster. Usually people default to being the victim. Goggins continues,
“No matter what life serves me, I say, Roger that.” Most people think that simply means, ‘order received.’. However, in the military, some people infuse ROGER with a bit more intention and define it as, ‘Received, order given, expect results.”
Sickness? Roger that! Boss gives you something unpleasant? Roger that! Roger that! Unexpected loss? Roger that! Unexpected expenses? Roger that!
The story of Joseph in the Old Testament is super-long but it tells the story of a man who faced difficulty and kept a good attitude. He was his father’s favorite. He had these dreams about his brothers bowing down to him. They sold him into slavery, told his father he was dead. Once he sort of made something of himself as a slave he was accused of sexual misconduct and thrown in prison. When he thought he had some hope of gaining his freedom, he was forgotten. All this happened; setback after setback before the situation was ever redeemed.
BUT…he finally can say…
Gen 50:20 – “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
If God can turn a rough situation into good, we can be faithful and say, “Roger that!” Received! Order Given. Expect Results!
