God’s artistic skill in our lives did not end the day we were born. In the same way a weaver takes many threads and weaves them into intricate patterns for a wall hanging or a rug, so God continues to work for good for us in the details of each day. Recovery is a wonderful opportunity to enter more fully into the
good life God has always wanted us to experience.
good life God has always wanted us to experience.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28 NLT)
Which details of our life are left to chance and error? None! God who began a good work in us will continue to work in our lives to fulfill His planned purpose for us.
God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT)
God’s plan for us is suited to our unique personality, talents and abilities. Our part is to believe what God says and turn our will and our lives over to His care. When we do, His purpose for us will gradually be revealed.
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. (2 Timothy 2:20-21 NIV)
We often long for fulfillment and deep satisfaction. We will experience those feelings only when we live wholeheartedly surrendered to God’s ways. Life truly becomes more meaningful as we seek God in all our ways. Obeying God’s is the first step towards fullness of life. Joy and satisfaction result, along with a sense of well-being, as we put into practice what we are learning.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, My desire is to wholeheartedly follow You in all my ways. I am grateful that You add meaning to my life as You continue to work all things together for my good. May You be glorified in all that I do and say. Amen
