Good Morning!! "Why is this happening to me?" If you've, never asked that, it's because you have not been through anything,...and if you have asked it, you're not alone. No
one is exempt from adversity. It’s all around us. Some burdens come from
the enemy, while others are caused by our own sin. Most, however, are
the simple results of the fallen world in which we live. At one time of
another, God allows trials caused by these circumstances to touch each
of our lives. You may be wondering, "Why would a loving God allow His
children to suffer hardships?" Again, you are not alone. I assure you
that our Heavenly Father has not made a mistake by allowing adversity
into our lives. He uses them for our good.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.—Romans 8:28 (NIV)
Adversity can be a good thing depending on whose perspective we take. When we look at adversity form our viewpoint, we tend to ask, "What am I
going to do?" When seeking God’s point of view through adversity, we ask; "What does God want me to do? or What is God going to do?" Many have come to believe that Romans 8:28 is
God's perspective on adversity. He is at work on our behalf—for our good
and His glory even when it doesn't look like it,...feel like,...or appear
like it. Those are the times we have to rest in the comfort of His love, while we
trust His hand at work in our lives. Don’t struggle through your
circumstances alone. Climb into the Father’s lap, and tell Him all about your troubles. He understands,...and He has a plan.
God uses our trials to teach
us about Himself, to create Christ-like character, to reveal His love
and expand our ministry.
Father God, forgive us when we forget Who's in charge, or feel alone and doubt Your promises. Forgive us for attempting to relying on ourselves, to work out our situation. Help us to believe and remember, that You alone are enough,...and You are working in our life for our good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
"With God's strength behind us and His arms beneath us, we can face whatever lies ahead."
