It’s Still God’s Will
It is so easy to say and believe the Word of God in a situation when the end result is what we THINK should be in our favor. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose, (Roman 8:28), It’s a lot easier to see the light after a struggle when there is a reward: a promotion, better health, more money, a mate, some type of tangible asset. So what happens when life does not produce outcomes that we perceive as favorable?
Tests of our faith often follow-up with these questions. As humans we tend to turn to each other for comfort and answers, but as true believers we tend to forget the answer of all answers, the Word of God! Please, pleeeease do not take this observation as an act of self-righteousness because I struggle with reading the Bible just like the next, and no I do not read it every day! Personally an exegesis of Genesis to Revelation is not where I am in my walk, but I do know that if you ask God for scripture relating to your situation as well as pray for clarity, he will give it to you.
We know God’s time is not our time and that everything happens in its own, appropriate season (Ecclesiastes 3), As we revisit the definition of encourage, to give support, confidence or hope; to inspire with courage, strength, or purpose), we as women should be encouraged today to live our best lives, do good deeds for one another, and to comfort each other when life happens.
I challenge each woman who reads this to encourage someone this week. Send a hello text to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Call someone you know maybe going through and talk about anything just to get their mind away from the here and now. Go visit a senior that might not have much family round. Reach out to a student and encourage them in their studies. This is still God’s time and it is not our job to try to change that but to help one another get through these times, especially the not so good ones.
Prayer:
God, help us as women to encourage one another, especially when our timing doesn’t look like Yours.
Help us to understand that you make no mistakes.
We pray for wisdom, guidance, and understanding as you continue to fulfill Your promises.
Amen,
God, help us as women to encourage one another, especially when our timing doesn’t look like Yours.
Help us to understand that you make no mistakes.
We pray for wisdom, guidance, and understanding as you continue to fulfill Your promises.
Amen,
