28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:28-31
Predestined: To fix upon, decide, or decree in advance; foreordain.
Justified: to defend or uphold as warranted or well-grounded
Glorified: to honor with praise, admiration, or worship; extol
Have you ever pondered, wondered, or maybe worried how something so impossible could be possible? Have you at any point surrounded yourself among individuals that say they want you to succeed, but in the same breath they’re cursing you? What about those who want to give you an outline for your life (telling you what you should do)?
As humans, it’s easy to say what, when, and where..based on the carnal mind. Don’t allow people to speak life over you, when you haven’t allowed God to. We often WASTE so much time trying to figure out what God has already worked out? Have you ever thought, “Maybe things aren’t working because you’re doing too much?” Perhaps, what you’re trying to do isn’t aligning with what He wants, the reason your plans aren’t succeeding. Are you running from your purpose? WAIT! I find humor that God will allow us time and time again to encounter obstacles, hardships, trials and tribulations until there’s a moment of surrendering. I want to encourage you not to lose your mind or faith, it’s only a test. Don’t allow people, material things, or money to take your sight off the one who’s your sole provider. Things will work out for your good, if you hope for what you do not see and have patience. It’s a sure test of faith, if you can see it, it’s not faith! Stop operating ahead of His scheduled plan for your life…if it’s for you, there will be no room for confusion, questioning…He prepares you before presenting His plan. Are you ready?
I’m sure you’re wondering, “Why patiently hope for something that I can’t see?” If you knew exactly what God has in store, you would not diligently seek Him. There has to be time to desire His presence for manifestation to take place, because everything that He has for you will come in due season, but are you ready? The trials will only come to make you strong, and they will come. In the text, it’s stated, “And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” I love that verse, because He’s waiting on you, He’s calling…but are you going to answer? Don’t lose neither your faith nor your joy–remember, God’s in Control…not YOU, stop trying to control Him! There’s nothing that can compare to what God has predestined for you! ALL things are working for your good—He’s worked it out!!!! Don’t go through this season in disbelief, but believing, God is working it out! It can be whatever the enemy is trying retain from your reach, but take a few moments and position yourself to say, “As long as He’s in control, I know things will work out!” If you say it, you must believe it!!!! HUMILITY, can you praise Him in spite of….
This week, walk in the mentality of a BELIEVER…and repeatedly say, ALL things!!!!! Even during the midst of pain and suffering…ALL things…
*the reason ALL is highlighted, because when you think of the definition, (ALL:every, the whole of, greatest possible), I’m so elated to know that ALL things will work for the good of those who LOVE HIM!!! Nothing can compare to His glory inside of YOU!
Be inspired…and share with someone else…
