Part Of A Bigger Plan

 

Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!”

But Job said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Job 2:9-10

Did you ever notice when bad things happen to Christians there are always people who say they must have done something wrong?

I should know because I have felt at times like I was melting in the midst of purgatory with accusations from those who I thought would support me in the worst five minutes of my life. I was driven to the point of questioning and accusing myself and I teetered on the edge of ditching my faith and just trying to “be good” to see how that would work.

Then I discovered my accusers were wrong. It does not matter if your spouse cheated on you or your child got arrested or your house burnt down or you were laid off from your job, it is not because you sinned. It is because God has some bigger plan He is working on and you just happen to be right in the middle of it.

It may be rough going, but we need to praise God for our circumstances and with great anticipation wait to see what He has planned next.

Raise your hands up and say, “Thank you God for everything. I trust you. Hallelujah! Amen.”
