– Scripture:
When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand. Far better to be right and poor
than to be wrong and rich. We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.
Proverbs 16:7-9 MSG
– Reflection:
Take Life Seriously
We all go through disappointments and things we don’t understand. It’s easy to get discouraged and lose our passion. But God won’t allow anything to happen that will keep you from your purpose. He’s already taken into account every bad break, every person who walked away, every mistake you’ve made. What we can’t see is how He’s working behind the scenes. Sometimes He closes a door so He can open a bigger door, or He’ll move someone out of your life because they’re limiting your growth. What feels like a disappointment is really His hand ordering your steps to get you to a new level.
Where do we go from here?
Maybe you went through a loss, and you’re discouraged, thinking that you’ve seen your best days. If you only knew what God was up to, that God has beauty for those ashes, that new doors are going to open and new friendships are coming, you would live from a place of peace, knowing that the best part of your life is still in front of you.
Our Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that when things don’t go according to our plans, we can know that You are working behind the scenes and in charge of our steps. Thank You that You love us too much to leave us on our own. We believe that You will work out all of these things together for our good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
