A couple of sentences taken from a television show last night featuring Dr. David Stanley:
Obey God.
Leave the consequences to Him.
God is in control!
Got anything that is at the front of your mind today?
A difficult decision you have to make? Difficulties with a friend, neighbor, family member? Need to make an elected official aware of some pending legislation? Asking God for healing of some health issue? Yours or someone you love?
According to Stanley, we can "expect difficulties, differences, and conflicts because we live in a world different from God's.....'
We need to meditate on God. Do what we believe He would have us be or do. If we do that, God will make a way where there is no way. He will cause us to prosper. It may take time. And the results make look differently than we think they should. But we are asked to keep our eyes on Him and He will show us that our obedience, belief and trust 'worked out for good'.
Romans 8:28:
(New American Standard Bible)
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. "
