1 Kings 15-17
What God said to me – Belonging to Me doesn’t exempt you from the tragedies of life or its trials and difficulties or even its little annoyances. These things are all a part of living in a fallen world and cannot be avoided. What belonging to Me does do is give you the wherewithal to walk through them with grace and peace knowing that “I AM” in control – knowing that “I AM” at work even when you don’t see or understand. Little by little, step by step “I AM” using everything in your life, both big and small, both good and bad to transform you into My image and teach you what it means to truly walk with Me. Don’t just wait until this time alone to come to Me – do it step by step, moment by moment as you are going.
Sometimes we can look back later and see the reason and even the benefit for what we were experiencing. But sometimes we can’t. And even when we can’t, we have the assurance of knowing that God is still in control and with us.
