In His Time.

These days I wonder if God can indeed transform things and situations. I became questioning when I shouldn't be in the first time. I stop questioning and began believing when I get this simple relevation :-

When I ask if God can indeed take the awful and upsetting situations that befall us as well as the circumstances we bring on ourselves by our hot-headedness, foolishness whatever, and turn them into good? The bible says He can!. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28-29).

And He showed me the best way to deepen this conviction is that God has all the power to take the setbacks in life and turn them into springboards. How? By simply reflecting on the finished work of the Cross. The cross; it is the ultimate and the supreme example of God's ability to transform things and situations, the worst of the lot. Right there at the cross, He took the most horrific event that ever happened on this earth and made it into the most sublime. What happened on the cross was the world's worst crime, yet it is now the world's supreme hope. It was the darkest event in history, yet now, it is the brightest and most marvelous light of all. Sin became the dark backdrop against which His grace shines even more brilliantly.

Hence, He's telling me, If He CAN do that with the cross, what can he not do with the setbacks in life. If He can conquer the cross, can he not help me conquer my circumstances. He will aid me to reign over all that is happening and I see hope. I really do.

I know that I might not come to understand the things that are happening now. I can be lost for words to explain and sometimes, I find it beyond me to explain and justify to everyone why this is happening. But, I know this phase will come to past soon. I believe in His time, he can make everything beautiful again. Give us the patience to wait it out.

My prayer for today:

Lord, just help me drop my personal anchor into the immense depths of your reassuring and encouraging relevation and truth, that nothing that ever happens to me is by chance and is beyond Your power to transform. I believe that every stumbling block becomes a stepping stone. I am indeed grateful. Amen.
