For Good

We are all aware that the Lord takes what was meant for evil in our lives and uses it for good.  Why do you think that is?  Have you contemplated the lost revenue, efficacy and time attributed to those things done against us or done inappropriately by our own hands?  If our ills may be turned to good what then the exponential effect of our pure, holy acts, done for God.  What would be the resultant impact of our lives if we chose to live them in tandem with God’s intention, desiring maximum efficacy and greatest glory/reflection upon His Name?  Could this be done so that we may clearly understand that God’s Will is Good and Perfect and our own efforts fallen?  Perhaps through this engagement may we understand the need, no necessity to rely upon God’s power, authority, Grace and provision for our lives instead of our own unholy action or intention?

The enemy cannot prevail.  Even those assaults effectively executed against my person are simply notification of those things I have yet to surrender to God.  My errors in judgment or the open avenues of approach/footholds currently available and open to enemy access are there to demonstrate I have not yet given myself over completely to God’s Plan.  The enemy’s efficacy in attacks upon my person are all turned to good when I see them as God intends, as opportunities to surrender those remaining areas of my life.

Why do I continue to face similar situations with the same resolution plans that have never worked in the past?  If I ended up frustrated unfulfilled and seeking escape the last four hundred times I faced the same circumstances with the same tools then it is nigh impossible I will find acceptable resolution on my four hundred and first attempt.  The Lord is waiting patiently for me to surrender the control of this and any other circumstances I have been fooled into believing I might conquer.  When will I see the enemy attacks for the good that God intended and stop whining over being attacked and rather go to God in prayer asking for the change only He might produce?  When will I believe and trust in the miracle of the Master Potter’s Hand upon my chemistry and physiognomy?

That only Hope for my worried heart is Trust, but that Trust surpasses all effect of time and circumstance, for it is the perfect Hope.  So I will trust in the Lord and leave the details to Him.  I will rely upon that which I cannot see or prove but wholeheartedly know to be Truth.  In Jesus’ Name I pray for you this wonderful day that He has made.
