All works for the good of.......Romans 8:28

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Yesterday I talked about Nahum 1:7-9 about God being a strong refuse for those who are close to Him, but His enemies will be swept away. Think about this: God would judge the city of Nineveh for its idolatry, arrogance, and oppression. Although Assyria was the leading military power in the world, God would completely destroy this "invincible" nation. God allows no person or power to usurp or scoff at his authority. Does this smell of America? Of the world?

God rules over all the earth, even over those who don't acknowledge Him. God is all powerful and no one can change His plans.
Are your thoughts oriented toward God. When something good happens do you thank Him? When something happens to your displeasure - do you thank God? Everything, EVERYTHING is under God's rule. Be Thankful!! Thank God for His Son's blood for you, for your family, for your job, for your joys, for your troubles.......THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING!!
Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Wow. WOw. WOW! Think about this. You are not just a free unidentified object existing on earth, breathing air and taking up space. God works in EVERYTHING - not just isolated incidents - but everything for OUR GOOD! This does not mean everything that happens is good or will make us happy, but it is there to FULFILL HIS PURPOSE.
But why would God let evil come into my life, my little world? Well, are you 100% obedient, always praising and worshiping God, following his ways, or do you sometimes trek off into the wilderness blazing your own path? Oh, okay, uh-huh, I see.
When you have been called by God, you will love God, you have accepted Christ as your saviour, and the Holy Spirit is with you, then you will have a new perspective, a new mind set. Then, you will trust in GOD, not in worldly treasures; your security will be in heaven, not on earth.
My friend, dear Christian friend, let not your faith waver in pain and persecution but stay strong because you know God is with you. Psalm 119:97 "Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day." Quit letting God be your co-pilot, give Him the controls and let Him be the pilot of your life. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
