For those who are seated on the highway of life, worrying about tomorrow, despairing about life’s uncertainties, and murmuring about life’s problems, there is good news for you. We serve a God who oftentimes brings good out of evil; He uses unpleasant circumstances to uncover His mighty grace and promise in the lives of His people. Joseph was a man who faced rejection from his own people, but God used his rejection for his advancement. What is your situation? Are you rejected, disappointed, or abandoned? Are you in pain and don’t know what life will bring? Leave it for God. Nobody can replace God’s plan for your life.
We fail to realise that God is helping us build character now so that when we get to the place of destiny, we will not crack, explode and lose it all. God has purposefully kept us in the dark concerning future events so we can always be alert, watchful, and prayerful. 1 Corinthians 1:27 teaches us that God sometimes works most wisely and most powerfully in a way directly opposite to human expectations. Do not allow your situation to weigh you down. A real Christian depends upon God’s grace and puts his trust in Christ alone. It is this grace that gives us hope that no matter the situation, the best is yet to come.
Prayer: Oh Holy Spirit, help me to see beyond my present situation, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
