WHEN LIFE SEEMS NOT TO WORK...

Some things work and sometimes some things just seem not to work however hard you try...those times when it seems your best efforts betray you. BUT, both the things that work out well and those that appear not to work, everything shall in the end work for our good as long as we remain in God and retain our love for Him even in the midst of heavy challenges.

Christianity is not a license to a perfectly "smooth" life...if it is, then there would be no need for us to be more than conquerors and overcomers. As long as we remain in this world, Jesus said "(in this world) you shall have tribulations (challenges, life's issues, trials, etc)"...But He quickly added: "but be of good cheers, I have overcome the world (for you)" (John 16:33).

There are times when we go through unpleasant situations...it does not mean we have sinned or God does not like us. NO. Isaiah 43:2 says "WHEN thou passeth through waters and fire"...it does not say "IF" thou passeth through waters and fire. 'IF' is conditional and a probability and represents an adverbial clause of condition; but 'WHEN' represents an adverbial clause of time which means certainly a time will come when you will go through waters and fire (overwhelming and hot situations). And it says: "I will be with you and the rivers shall not overflow thee neither shall the fire burn you". What an assurance in times when life's tempest soar and billows roll!

And while we wait for our change to come, "Nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ"...not even those situations that seem not to work at the moment.

WHEN LIFE SEEMS NOT TO WORK, REMEMBER THAT GOD IS WORKING SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOU...SO HOLD ON TILL THE END AND DO NOIT LET GO.

I SPEAK PEACE TO YOU IN JESUS' NAME.
