"God's
plans for your life far exceed the circumstances of your day."
~Louie Giglio
Read it again, again
and again… Let it simmer and sink in the depth of your soul and when you
finally appreciate the complexity, the deepness and the meaning of this
sentence, you will also understand that any bad day(s) is only a purposeful setback
in what is to be the big picture that is your life.
Know this to be a fact
that no matter what, you are going to have challenging days.
Psalm 118:24 says the Lord made today and every day. There is no promise on what kind of days you are about to face, so
know you will face, good days, bad days, joyous days, and dreadful ones but
rest assure HE made them all…
So knowing there is a purpose for each bad day, doesn’t that make them easier
to handle?
If we accept that God has everything
planned for us it doesn’t mean we have a preordained future and can’t exercise the
gift of free will he gave us.
The late Roman, Christian philosopher
Boethius said “We have free will, but
God, who sees past, present, and future as one vast simultaneous picture, knows
what decisions we'll make, because from his perspective we're already making
them”
God simply guides us but he allows us to
shape our own destiny. HE can and does sometimes get involved if you are deeply
in touch with your circumstances and know to ask for His help and even then we
need to understand that HE answers all of our prayers, and sometimes it is just
that HIS answer is no…
