Yes, can you do what you do with the do?
For after all, ideal circumstances are impossible, good ones rare, and inadequate situations are common fare.
Never is this more evident than in the life of Jesus of Nazareth:
Being born in a barn is more likely a precursor to a life of poverty and crime than becoming the Savior of the world.
Being chased from your homeland by a despot and ending up a refugee in Egypt would normally be a sad biographical sketch of a loser and bitter soul, not the Prince of Peace.
Certainly being rejected by a town which pigeon-holed you as the “son of a Carpenter” would not inspire you to go out and heal the sick and raise the dead.
Likewise, having the misfortune to arrive at a wedding feast which did not order enough wine, and being asked to “do something with water” might make someone grouchy.
We must never forget that finding yourself in a garden where you’re surrounded by sleepy friends and betrayed by one of your close companions would normally be the closing scene of a Shakespearian tragedy, not the door to salvation.
And being convicted of a capital crime and sentenced to death hardly seems the best position to find oneself in while preparing for a resurrection.
Jesus worked on what he could do instead of complaining about the “do” that was going on around him.
I will go so far as to say that your level of success in life will be determined by how well you do what you do in the “do” that is available … instead of waiting for better times.
