Psalm 66:12 ....We went through fire and through water; But you brought us out to rich fulfillment. (Nkj) .... (a place of great abundance. Nlt)
There will always be things in life that we don't understand, things that seem unfair or too difficult to handle, or we see others suffering and it's so easy to ask, 'Why God? Why?'
The trouble is, the 'Why's?' don't get us very far, in fact they can send us backwards because they keep us stuck where we're at, instead of moving forward into what God wants to lead us into next. I heard someone say "Don't put a question mark where God has put a full stop."
The bottom line is that we have to believe that God is faithful, that He cannot lie, and that His plans for us are ultimately for our good. Some days we just can't see it, in fact we see the opposite of what we think would be good! It's at those times that we need to stand on the word of God and decide that we're going to stick with it and Him, no matter what.
It's that point of decision when we decide that we're going to trust God despite what we hear, see or feel. It's at those times we seem to grow spiritually, not when everything in the garden is rosy so even if you're going through some stuff right now, be encouraged because God has promised to bring you through and out the other side to rich fulfillment. So let's thank Him for it in faith. He never will leave us stuck in the middle if we do what He says.
God wants us to listen.😊 He chose us before the foundation of the world and as we seek Him and His ways, He will guide us and lead us into the good plans He has already prepared beforehand.
Isaiah 43:1-2 ...Fear not for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are Mine.
