Romans
8:28. “And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, and to those who are called according
to His purpose.”
Often we are devastated by an
unexpected “blip” in life. It might be an illness, a death of a loved one, a
wayward child or something else that causes us to stop dead in our tracks.
Many times the situation does not make sense
to us and we wonder why God would allow a calamity like this. In this last statement, lies the answer; “God allows it” and if God is in control and
allows this to happen, then we can have the assurance that no matter what
happens, all is well!
When I look back
at some of the tragedies in my life, I always see a purpose for the incident. In the Old Testament, the two situations where
we can clearly see the larger purpose is in Job’s and Joseph’s tragedies. They must have wondered where God was during
their ordeals but God had a purpose in mind when he allowed these hardships to
happen and in the end we can see why things happened as they did.
If God had Job and Joseph in his almighty
hand then wouldn’t He do the same for us today?
He is an unchanging God , the same yesterday, today and forever. He
always knows exactly what is happening in our lives and is with us even when we
can’t see Him.
Prayer for
today: Dear Lord, I know you are in
control and I know that you know what is best for me so today, I ask you Lord,
to keep me in perfect peace and keep my mind on you. I want to trust you for
every thing in my life and surrender my will to you because you say that all
things work together for good to those who love you, Lord, I want to love you
more, I want to serve you more and I want to praise you more. Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord
to thee. In Jesus name, Amen.
