TRUST ME IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE. Nothing is random in My kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me. Instead of trying to analyze the details of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting Me and thanking Me at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk
close to Me. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through My transforming grace.
While you were still living in darkness, I began to shine the Light of My Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire (trouble) into My marvelous Light. Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life.
- Jesus

Jeremiah 17:7 - "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him" (New International Version)
ReplyDeleteRomans 8:28 - "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" (New International Version)
God works in "all things" - not just isolated incidents - for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but God is able to turn every circumstance around for our long-range good. When you give your life over to the Lord, you have a new perspective, a new mind-set on life. You trust in God, not life's treasures. You look for security in heaven, not on earth. You learn to accept, not resent pain and persecution, because God IS with you.
Psalm 40:2 - "He (God) lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand" (New International Version)
