Post date: Oct 21, 2013 5:54:59 AM
The God you serve is far beyond the best imaginations of the most learned men on earth; He is far beyond the best expectations and expressions of faith, trust, and hope; His words can never be faulted by science or conferred committee of men; He is far beyond the decisions of men in all generations, and His actions can never be successfully challenged and changed.
He is a God without time, but He does His things with time, allowing men the opportunity to exercise the best of their thoughts and learning. Your God is not without a purpose, even when you have none; He will take you through one as you faithfully follow Him. He is not without a time and is not without the willpower to do what He desires in the lives of those who put their absolute trust in Him. When He gives life, it is with a divine purpose to fulfill the best of His plans in such a life; when He preserves a life, He does it with a purpose that, that life will experience a turnaround that will draw men unto Him; when He blesses a life, He does it without adding any sorrow in order to expand His kingdom on earth.
As you follow Him, you will experience some pains in life but it is for a short time and for a purpose that will glorify His name at the end. You will experience some disappointments but it will for a short period of time and will glorify His name at the end. You will go through some forms of frustrations, but that will for a period of time and will glorify Him at the end. You will see moments of discouragement but that also will be for a period of time and for a purpose.
All that you will ever pass through in life as a Christian, when God allows them to happen, none will crust you, non will destroy you and none will overtake you forever. Despite what you are seeing today in your life, despite what you are going through and feeling right now, God has not made any mistake in your case and He will not make one now. He has not made any mistake in allowing you to see today and to experience what you are experiencing. He had not made any mistake in keeping you in that location, in that home, and in that profession. God did make any mistake in Job’s life and will not make any in yours.
“And the Lord said to Satan, from where did you come? Then Satan answered the Lord, from going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it. And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who reverently fears God and abstains from and shuns evil because it is wrong? Then Satan answered the Lord, Does Job reverently fear God for nothing? Have You not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have conferred prosperity and happiness upon him in the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has, and he will curse You to Your face. And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon the man himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.” Job 1:8-12
When God allows anything to happen to you, the end will glorify His name bless your life. “And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And in all the land there were no women so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, even to four generations. So Job died an old man and full of days.” Job 42:12-13, 15-17
When God allows anything in your life, He has a better result to give despite the pains. Lord, I grant all your children reading this devotional, to see results that will glorify your name. Amen.
