Do you really believe it? Do you believe that God always fulfills His
promises of unfailing love to those who love Him and obey Him? Think about how you think about God when
circumstances overwhelm you and He seems to not care. Be honest.
Do you consider God loving you when things are going bad for you? Don’t you question the love of God for you
when nothing seems to change for the better?
After all, if God really loves, He would make sure everything went well
for us, wouldn’t He?
We doubt God’s love because we can’t see
the forest because of the trees. All we
can see is the moment we are in, not the broader picture of our lives. We don’t see how the moment can be good for
us in any way. We don’t see how God is
going to use us the rest of our life journey and how our present circumstances
are a part of our preparation.
We don’t see the good in the bad because
we fail to remember what God says about himself. He is holy love and is incapable of acting in
a non-loving way. Everything God does,
or allows to happen in our lives, flows from love. He is incapable of doing anything wrong. We may not understand it at all, but it is
true. In order to deal with life we must
accept as absolute truth everything God says.
All of God’s promises come to pass but, there is a condition if we are
going to personally experience them.
We must love the Lord and obey Him. When we love the Lord we trust Him. We rest in the knowledge that what we are
going through is noticed by God and is being used by Him for our good. We do not speak negatively of Him; instead we
acknowledge Him, thank Him, and praise Him regardless of what we are
experiencing. We continue to faithfully
obey Him regardless of how we feel. God
never fails us, but we do fail Him. God will see you through whatever you are
going through if you love Him and obey Him.
