All Things Work Together For Good
Lately, God’s been reminding me of the importance of rejoicing in everything. It’s easy to get our eyes off of God and onto circumstances but, in reality, that is the last thing we should do. Everything happens for a purpose: to draw us closer to God or to glorify Him in some way. Maybe it’s to finish ironing out that bad character trait we’re still holding on to or to answer that prayer for patience that we may not have actually prayed for but which God knew we needed. Regardless, we know that “all things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
You may not see it now but God’s Word is true. Even if you never fully understand why you had to go through this trial, you will one day look back and realize that God took what satan meant for evil, and He turned it around for good. If life were easy, we’d see no need for God but, when faced with the reality that we have nowhere else to turn, trials are often the perfect way to bring us into the posture we should be assuming anyway: arms wide open, face up, looking for Him to appear at any moment.
Please don’t despair, my Brothers and Sisters. God has not forgotten you even for a second. He knows what He’s doing even if you don’t. Trust Him, put your hand in His, and allow Him to lead you in the path He’s chosen for you which is without a doubt very good.
Hi Folks
Is there a way that I can have this blog connected to my website for my readers/listeners to connect to?
Thanks
