God Is Working It Out For You
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed — the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Romans 4:17
You must believe what God says about you, over what everyone else says! Stop listening to those who claim you’ll never amount to anything. You might’ve had a bad childhood, or a failed marriage or career. ‘…Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before [you]’ (Philippians 3:13). The Bible doesn’t say that we call those things which are not as though they are. Nor does it say others have the power to speak things which are not as though they are over your life. No, it is God, through His Word, Who speaks into existence His will for your life. And you should be glad about that. You wouldn’t want anybody else to have power to determine your destiny. Our responsibility is to line up our will with God’s will. When we do, He empowers us to accomplish what normally would be humanly impossible. The Bible says, ‘…The just shall live by faith’ (Romans 1:17). Your faith is more important than your performance. Yes, when God decrees something, we get to participate in it. But in every case, it’s God who performs it. The thing you’re worried about performing, God says will be done through His power. Will you experience delays and disappointments? Yes, but ultimately you won’t be denied, for God has decreed it. You say, ‘But what about all my unanswered questions or all the loose ends that need to be tied up?’ It’s ‘a done deal’ as far as God’s concerned. ‘All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose’ (Romans 8:28). Relax! God is working it out for you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for being in charge – help me when I falsely think I am! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Our responsibility is to line up our will with God’s will. Ah, just HOW do we do that? Everyone wants to know what God’s will is for their life…but so few do. So if we don’t know His will for our life, how can we line our will up with His?
Many know God’s will in “general terms”…but are searching for His will for their life in more specific terms that they can actually “act” upon, make decisions upon. Just wish His will wasn’t so hard to find…often times so hard that ppl give up, and turn out mediocre, when if His will was clearer, they would have been a heavenly star!
God is amazingly fast in blessing me. And His timing is simply perfect!
