What You Know About God Working It “For Your Good” And What You Don’t Know About God Working It “For Your Good.”


Deuteronomy 29: 29 AMP
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things which are revealed and disclosed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may do all of the words of this law.”

When your life is plain sailing and things are great you don’t even consider “for your good.” But let things take a turn and your life comes unstuck, that’s when you wonder why “for your good?” How can difficult times be good for you?

In those days when I was struggling and suffering with difficulties I was reminded “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” It’s difficult to do that when you are faced with adversaries. People that you trusted and thought had your back were out to get you. When you can’t see the outcome and you are plagued by fear it’s hard to see “we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8: 28

Now looking back those where the days I grew spiritually, I had placed my hope in the Lord my God. I was going through so much but I wouldn’t let go of the LORD. I didn’t know what the outcome would be but I trusted God.

Today I have left all that behind me, I cut the person off and moved on. I forgave them and ask God to help me with my own life. I don’t want to be caught up in that mess ever again.

Prayer

Lord God, You are awesome, You know best. When we are in trouble and don’t know which way to turn, You are there for us. Thank You for helping me get through those terrible days. Thank You for Your loving-kindness and understanding. I love and adore You, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
