Greetings to all, let us thank God for seeing us through yet another week. As we encounter any problems and the busyness of today, let us ask God to give us the grace and wisdom to continue to serve Him as we come to the end of this week and that we will be a blessing to those who He sends our way. Amen
Sometimes It can get hard on this journey we call life.
At this moment and time, there is so much chaos, pain, and grief that many ask that age-old question:
W.I.G.I.A.T. (Where is God in all this?)
The answer remains the same!!! He is with us, and He is fully aware of all the upheaval in this world. We have been living in a fallen world where bad things happen ever since sin entered it.
Because God's ways are not like our ways, we cannot understand what He is doing. Our Almighty, All-Knowing God, knows what He is doing, and continues to have a plan. He only asks that we depend on Him for what we need.
1 Peter 1:6-9 (G.W.) 6 You are extremely happy about these things, even though you have to suffer different kinds of trouble for a little while now. 7 The purpose of these troubles is to test your faith as fire tests how genuine gold is. Your faith is more precious than gold, and by passing the test, it gives praise, glory, and honor to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ appears again. 8 Although you have never seen Christ, you love him. You don't see him now, but you believe in him. You are extremely happy with joy and praise that can hardly be expressed in words 9 as you obtain the salvation that is the goal of your faith.
Romans 8:18-19 (N.C.V.)
18 The sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be shown to us.
19 Everything God made is waiting with excitement for God to show his children's glory completely.
Revelation 21:4 (N.C.V.)
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone. "
Lesson: As children of God, we must continue to live by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). God has already given us his best gifts; His Son, His Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and has promised eternal life.
God has promised us that Joy is on the way!!!
