The psalmist asked, 'When the foundations for good collapse, what can good people do?' (Psalm 11:3 NCV). He answers his own question: 'The Lord sits on his throne in Heaven' (Psalm 11:4 NCV). When sickness comes, when your marriage fails, when your children suffer, when death strikes, what are you to do? Remember that God is still on the throne and is watching over you. No detail escapes his notice or care. He works according to a plan; one that's usually hard to understand during difficult times. Only in looking back do we realise that his goodness and mercy have followed us all the days of our lives (see Psalm 23:6).
Joseph landed in prison. Moses spent forty years in the desert. Daniel ended up in chains. Who could possibly have seen any good in these situations? Who could have known that Joseph the prisoner was only a single promotion away from becoming Joseph the prime minister? Who would have thought God was providing Moses forty years of wilderness training in the same desert through which he would lead the people? Who would have imagined that Daniel the captive would soon become the king's counsellor? God carries out his plans like that. He did it for Joseph, Moses, and Daniel etc - and he will do the same for you - so trust him. He will give you the grace you need to get through this situation in Jesus name.
*When you ask, 'God, where are you?' He answers, 'I am with you and will watch over you...I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you' (Genesis 28:15 NIV).*
Good Morning and do have a peaceful weekend.
