Dear Friend, When obstacles come our way trying to discourage our heart, we are to remember that all things are promised to work together for good because of our love and faith in God. We read in Romans 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. The Lord knows all things at all times and nothing can ever surprise God. The Bible says that God declares the end from the beginning. He does not create anything without first declaring its end. God's wisdom and understanding is so much higher and better than ours can ever be. He is infinite and is not constrained by limits that so easily confine our hands. If troubles are causing you to be discouraged, take comfort and know that with the Lord all things are possible and nothing shall be kept from those whose heart is perfect towards the Lord. (Psalm 139:1-14) (Isaiah 46:9-12) (Job 12:12-19) (2 Chronicles 16:9) I hope you are encouraged by today's message to trust the Lord in everything and know that it is God's good pleasure to fill you with Joy that overflows and peace that surpasses all understanding. ENVISIONING THE END Eight-year-old Frank had looked forward for weeks to this particular Saturday because his father had promised to take him fishing if the weather was suitable. There hadn't been any rain for weeks and as Saturday approached, Frank was confident of the fishing trip. But, wouldn't you know it, when Saturday morning dawned, it was raining heavily and it appeared that it would continue all day. Frank wandered around the house, peering out the windows and grumbling more than a little. Seems like the Lord would know that it would have been better to have the rain yesterday than today, he complained to his father who was sitting by the fireplace, enjoying a good book. His father tried to explain to Frank how badly the rain was needed, how it would make the flowers grow and bring much needed moisture to the farmers' crops. But Frank was adamant. It just isn't right, he said over and over. Then, about three o'clock, the rain stopped. Still time for some fishing, and quickly the gear was loaded and they were off to the lake. Whether it was the rain or some other reason, the fish were biting hungrily and father and son returned with a full string of fine, big fish. At supper, when some of the fish were ready, Frank's mom asked him to say grace. Frank did - and concluded his prayer by saying, And, Lord, if I sounded grumpy earlier today it was because I couldn't see far enough ahead. By James Hewett Be encouraged and know that God sees the end of the journey that we are still traveling on. He knows exactly what we need and when we need it and His timetable is exact and proficient whereas ours is not. Have confidence in the Lord and know that He loves you with an everlasting love and wishes that your Joy may be full. The Bible says that it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom, so let us come before Him with Thanksgiving and not complaint and continually let God know that our eyes are focused on Him and not on the negative situations that come before us. (Isaiah 40:12-14) Read and meditate on these scriptures: Psalm 145:14-19 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and Thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Luke 12:29-32 Jesus declares, And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
