Under our circumstances

Circumstances are a part of life. What we do with them is what is the most important part. As Christians the Bible often alludes to us as trees, just as this parable did the people in question in wanting someone other than God to rule over them. If we look closer though at some of the different trees that are referenced in the Bible and what is under them, we will see that like the trees in that parable we too allow our circumstances to rule over us instead of us ruling over them. Keep in mind not all circumstances are bad.
