JUST FOR TODAY – GOD WORKS FOR GOOD
Well, just a little more to say about goodness and good things coming our way when we wait. It’s how we wait that makes such a difference. Here’s a principle we can put into practice today that will move us in the right direction.
God’s Word reassures us:
We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
We often feel vulnerable. There are all sorts of reasons, some of them are connected to our past experiences; others to our unknown future. It’s easy to want to control things around us in order to avoid pain or disappointment.
The good news is that when we are trusting God, we can relax. God “has our back” and God is “on our side.”
When we are walking with God, surrendered to Him and His will, He will work in even the most challenging circumstances to bring about a better solution than any of us could imagine.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:4-5
Heavenly Father, We know we need to humbly admit that we really don’t know what is best for us. We often react out of fear and worry and try to get things arranged in what appears to be manageable to us.
While it is good to do our part to work towards good solutions, in the end we know it always comes back to seeking Your will in the moment and trusting Your plan to work for us.
It’s hard to wait, especially when it seems like ‘the bad guys are winning,’ but please help us to hang onto we Your promise that You will act on our behalf.
With a gracious manner and a willing heart help us today to do what we can, and then settle down and relax in Your good care.
We are grateful that we can release the pressures and burdens of today into Your capable hands. You are a good God and you work for good in our lives at all times. Help us to trust You today. Amen
So, here’s the principle one more time for us to focus on today:
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will trust that God is working all things for good in my life.
