Life's Zigzag Journey
- Life's path is often a zigzag, not a straight line, despite our expectations.
- God uses detours and challenges to prepare us and fulfill His purposes.
Biblical Zigzag Examples
- Paul faced years of imprisonment while fulfilling God's call to spread the gospel.
- David endured hardship for years before becoming king, showing God's preparation through struggles.

- Joy depends on perspective, how you view your circumstances.
- Some see life as half-empty, others as half-full; focusing on the latter increases contentment.
