Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [His] purpose.
Not the best couple of days. First, I lost something I really needed. Today brought more frustrating news I did not want to hear.
Texts and calls invaded the cell phone; one seemingly more aggravating than the previous. I finally got to a point that I dreaded the sound of the ringer or text notification. Although nothing was catastrophic, the events were upsetting, nonetheless.
My dear friends reminded me, in love, that God is in control. I am so blessed to have such wonderful, godly sisters in Christ!
As I spoke with the Lord about my issues, He also reminded me that He is in control and that He loves me.
I have to tell you honestly, I do not see how in the world these things are working for my “good”. I do, however, know I can stand confident in what the Word says!
Even if it is not in the manner I see as being beneficial, that is only because my view and understanding is limited to human comprehension.
If this is an opportunity for God to be glorified, let it be so. I want to mean this! I pray that our Merciful Lord will touch my spirit so I can genuinely say that I am believing Him in all circumstances. Let my life testify to His faithfulness and my trust in Him.
What wouldn’t we do for our child if he or she was having a difficult time, nothing, right? If we would do so for our own children, be certain that our Almighty God will pull us through adversity, stronger and better than we were on the front side of it!
