Good morning dearly beloved
Each day I live I become more convinced of the fact that God is surely behind the scenes working all things in the believer's life for our good and his glory (because we love him) Romans 8:28/29
Could it be that we try to have so much control over our every day affairs because of fear, when God is just saying trust me and follow my leading, I love you and I am working it out for your good and my glory
Amen
When we are perfected in love, we will not have fear
Look at the words from Psalm 139
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;You understand my thought afar off.3 You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,And are acquainted with all my ways.4 For there is not a word on my tongue,But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.5 You have [b]hedged me behind and before,And laid Your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.9 If I take the wings of the morning,And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,And Your right hand shall hold me.11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,”Even the night shall be light about me;12 Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,But the night shines as the day;The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works,And that my soul knows very well.15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You,When I was made in secret,And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.And in Your book they all were written,The days fashioned for me,When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!How great is the sum of them!18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;When I awake, I am still with You.
God has such a deep love for you and as your Father, he wants the best for you.
He has definitely put a lot of detail in creating us, equipping us for great purpose, favouring us - just really causing us to be victorious and to overcome
Just exhale - there is never a losing with Christ, even our very mistakes and failures if we just surrender them to God and truly repent, he will even turn those around into something beautiful.
I pray today as you move out into a new day and week, that you will just surrender your all and give him your all and best. Allow him to lead and guide you, there is no failure IN HIM.
Live with the focus of eternity with God in your mind and heart. That way you will be mindful of the fact that todays' actions, thoughts and words spoken will result in tomorrow's harvest and eternal rewards.
I pray you will
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
