Hiking in the Superstitions (2007)
In this scripture we are told that 'God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God' All things doesn't only mean 'good' things, right? When we are faced with a struggle or obstacle if we focus on this scripture, 'God causes ALL things.....' we may find comfort in knowing that whatever it is God will be at the helm and guide us through. The scripture doesn't mean that all things will always be good, but that all things will work together for good to those that love Him. So, first on the list is to make sure that you love your God. Secondly, when faced with 'bad stuff' recall this scripture to help you focus that all the things in our lives work together for good. And lastly, don't forget that we are called to His purpose, not ours. What is His purpose for us here on earth. We may think that we are headed in the right direction, but it isn't His direction. Ask Him for directions!
Lately, we've had struggles here - long work hours and double shifts, deaths and illness, minor accidents, cars that quit and days that seem to harbor a heaviness on our souls. It is comforting to know that God is on our side always, even if we don't walk along side Him, He is there. These stumbling blocks in the road of life may seem like huge boulders at the time, but as we walk further and look back they appear but pebbles in our path! And the rocks and stones in our road may be doubled the size on our neighbor's road. So, as we head down today's path, do a map check and first make sure it is the right path and no matter what we find in the road along the way 'all things work together for good for those who love and who are called to His purpose....'
What is your purpose?
