Do the Next Right Thing: Frozen 2

   The final song in Frozen 2 is actually what I call the sad song. It's a good song and it is actually very profound. However, it is very melancholy. Anna sings it when she has lost basically everything and everyone she loves. She isn't sure what she should do next.
   The end of the song says this:
   "So I'll walk through this night, Stumbling blindly toward the light, And do the next right thing, And with the dawn, what comes then? When it's clear that everything will never be the same again, Then I'll make the choice, To hear that voice, And do the next right thing"
   Anna is walking through the darkness of loss. But she knows she must go on. She must go toward the light. She must do the next right thing no matter how hard it is.
   Romans 8:18 is a good reminder for those feeling like Anna in this song: "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." We are going to suffer while we are on earth. Things are going to be hard and we will lose things and people. That happens because sin is in the world. We will hurt and have problems because of that. It is what we do with those problems that matters.
   When bad things happen we can choose to wallow in grief. We can choose to fall away from God. Or, we can choose to walk with God. We can choose to do the next right thing. If someone hurts you by causing you to lose your job will you try to get revenge; or will you forgive and trust in God's plan. If your significant other leaves you will you get angry at them and maybe give up on life; or will you forgive and trust in God's plan? Forgiveness, trust, and doing the right thing isn't always easy; but it's always the right thing to do.
   So, when hard times come what will you do? Will you wallow in pain and try to get revenge; or will you follow God?
