February 11 – Working out for good

“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.” Genesis 50v20

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8v28

Today, I commented to some friends that when things don’t seem to be going alright, then they could hardly ever have been better. Because on account of the above verses, we know that God works all things together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. We know too that His ways are not our ways, neither are His thoughts our thoughts. As far as the heavens are from the earth, so also are His thoughts from ours and His ways from our own. So relax in Him, be still and know that He is God. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Have a very blessed day.

For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4v13&14

“Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?” Ruth 2v10
