Sometimes things happen in life we do not understand. And sometimes we want things to happen a certain way because we might think....then finally everything will be right. Perhaps this seems true in our eyes but it's important to remember God has the bigger picture and plan for our life. As a Christian, we are able to know some details of that plan and that God does have total control over it. We can take comfort in this. We learn a little bit about this in many parts of scripture but we can see his hand over our life, seen in you and I---a most important part of His creation.
In John 15:16 Jesus says, "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit". We see that God is in control of the situation. In Ephesians 1:4 we read," ...as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world...." Once again, God knew if you would be saved before the foundation of the world.." Also we can know God our Father is in control because He does the drawing of us to Himself. Jesus said that "No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him" and "All that the Father gives me shall come to me: and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:44,37) We are safe in His arms once we have a saving faith relationship with Jesus Christ. We can get lost in the details of life many times but we must remember what we do know and that the ultimate plan is under God's sovereignty (His complete authority and control). "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." You can be resting securely in His arms right now no matter how chaotic and upside down your life may seem - www.areyougood.us
