Things Aren't Always, As They Seem

Things aren’t as though they seem

“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV)

No matter what you may be facing, no matter what trial you may be going through,

God has a plan to turn things around in your favor.

Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, or what you have done, God never quits working His plan in your life.

Luke 23:39-43 MSG.

39. One of the criminals hanging alongside cursed him: "Some Messiah you are! Save yourself! Save us!"

40-41. But the other one made him shut up: "Have you no fear of God? You're getting the same as him. We deserve this, but not him— he did nothing to deserve this."

42. Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom."

43. He said, "Don't worry, I will. Today you will join me in paradise."

That mans whole life could probably have been a lot easier, then the life he chose to live, ( I think we could all say that)

And no doubt, he probably had had several opportunities to do right, before the one Jesus gave him,

But in the end, God worked all the things he had done, good and bad together

and somehow good came out in the end, when the man asked for forgiveness and cast his love for Jesus

In the natural it may be confusing and chaotic sometimes,

but in Gods realm of the supernatural, its not that way,

He has everything under control

He is working behind the scenes, and He is working for your good all the time!

Are you a believer in Jesus? Do you love Him?

Then you are called according to His purposes.

Will there be some wrong turns along the way, more than less most likely,

Probably even a few U-turns along the way,

a few impossible doors to open, by Gods design,

and multiple doors along the way, That His favor will open easily for you,

when nothing else would have ever been able to open them at all!

If you have been praying about a certain situation, keep the faith, the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than you think!

Right now, He is orchestrating the right people to come across your path.

There is nothing to hard for God, when it comes to working His plan for your life

Ephesians 3:20 MSG.

20. God can do anything, you know— far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

“in your wildest dreams,” I believe that’s no exaggeration,

Because no matter where you are at in life, He wants you to dream bigger than your efforts are capable of bringing to the table.

We need to realize its not about our capabilities, it never has been and if where going to see our dreams come to fruition, it never will be.

Realize that if God put something down in your heart, a desire that He gave you,

At that very moment, He started working behind the scenes to make it happen and has never quit working either.

You say well a long time ago I wanted to do this,

Or I once had a dream to be a?

God hasn’t forgotten, not one time has he forgotten,

and there have probably been many missed opportunities along the way,

And I’m sure we could all say yes, to that one!

But never once has He given up trying to help you bring about His best in your life!

Right now, He is directing the right opportunities to open up to you.

And will continue until you reach the promised land, He has waiting for you,

Josephs journey from the prison to the palace, was no overnight success story,

Some would think it was a long hard road, but Joseph would tell you a different story,

He would tell you, it was one that took him down Gods favor superhighway to his destination, just liked he dreamed it would happen.

Where there bumps and detours along the way?, Yep! and every one of them a faith building experience!

Right now, know that He is arranging things in your favor, good things.

You may not see it in the natural, but look with your eyes of faith today.

Trust and know that He is guiding you, each and every step you take.

And know that its not a matter of if His blessing will come pouring into your life, but only when they will,

And until then,

Keep standing,

Keep believing,

Keep hoping,

Keep thanking Him and declaring His Word

and meditating on His goodness that He wants to give to you,

knowing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Amen?
