TRUSTING GOD’S GOOD PURPOSE FOR US
Are you facing a time of difficulty and wondering where God is today? Have you gone through a time of suffering and questioning how God can possibly allow it, much less, use it? Or maybe you’re filled with shame because of your past sins and poor choices and you don’t see how God can possibly turn your life around?
Yet, God is at work. God is sovereign. He is making us like Jesus. That is His purpose for those who love Him and are called by Him. We can face any trial or trouble knowing that God will cause it ultimately to come together for His purpose, which is that we should “become like his Son” (Rom. 8:29). And instead of hiding our past in shame, we can surrender it to Him, trusting that He will even use our worse days for His glory.
So, don’t waste the pain. Don’t turn away, but lean into Jesus all the more. Trust God’s good purpose for your life.
PRAYER: Dear Father, nothing can touch us without first passing through Your fingers. For Your hands protect and provide for us. You are the Potter and we are they clay. Mold us and make us after Thy will. For You are making us like Jesus. And we trust Your good will for us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
