A
reminder for today
Give
thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (1
Chronicles 16:34)
It is Monday again. I do hope that you had a wonderful
weekend and that you are fully rested for the week ahead. Our theme in J-Zone
(Kids ministry) is about the live of Joseph and all his trials and hardships
and his final appointment as ruler of Egypt just under Pharaoh. We talk about
the phrase “Because I love God, I can trust Him” and when I read this verse today
about the song of praise that David gave the Levites after they brought the Ark
of the Covenant into Jerusalem I realised that we forget how God took Joseph
through a number of trails before he ended up where God wanted him to be. Had he
not been in jail, Pharaoh would not have known about his gift to interpret dreams.
My dear friend, the trials and tribulations that we face
are all part of God’s plan and we might be going through tough times but these
misfortunes will place us in a position where God could use us or He is busy
preparing us for a specific task. We can’t see it now and we should not stare
ourselves blind in our circumstances. We must keep our eyes focussed on Him and
seek Him at all times. Because I love Him, I will trust Him and I will give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His
faithful love endures forever.
All week these verses have been stuck in my head: Each time he said, "My grace is all you
need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my
weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians
12:9)
I know now that I must just live and trust Him no matter
how my circumstances change, it is all part of His plan and His love and grace
is all I need.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
