ALL Things
And we know that in all
things
God works for the good of
those who love Him,
who have been called
according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
Have
you ever made a big mistake - a tragic error, life-changing blunder,
unforgivable faux pas, or inexcusable oversight – and in the process of your
stupidity, you have hurt people that you respect and/or love? After your total and complete lapse in
judgment, do you find yourself sitting with the broken pieces of your life
scattered around you on the floor? When
things begin to look pretty dark: no future, no hope, no nothing – listen to
what the Apostle Paul has to say about God’s viewpoint on the matter
There
is nothing God cannot help, no circumstance that His grace cannot cover, no
situation that cannot be made better by turning to Him. Now don't get me wrong - He is not some
heavenly superglue hero who can wave His magic wand and make everything whole
again - returning things to the way they were before your horrible gaffe. That only happens in movies and fairy
tales. There are real world consequences
to the stupid things we do, and part of the learning curve is to taking responsibility
and taking your medicine. That's not an
easy thing to do, but Paul assures us that God will be right there with
us. He can turn ALL circumstances into
an eventual blessing for our lives. He
has promised, and He means just what He says.
*
Be not dismayed what e’er betide,
God will take care of you.
Beneath His wings of love
abide – God will take care of you.
God will take care of you,
through every day, o’er all the way.
He will take care of
you! God will take care of you.
