IT JUST MAKES SENSE

 

 

 

"We Know that All Things Work together for the good  for those that are called according to HIS purpose"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Father God we thank you for this time of fellowship and communion in your Word and in your Presence and we pray that as we endeavor to expound what is on your heart for those that will read this post that you will bless us to quick of understanding, wisdom, comprehension and the skill needed to feed your Sheep and your Lambs

Amen

 

 

 

As we consider the original text concerning "All Things" working together for our good when we are called according to God's purpose, we want to take the time to look at a few of the types of things that can "work" (the good doesn't happen just because) but things are "working" to bring about the unexpected end of the person involved but the "expected" end of God's Divine Purpose.

 

You see when we are in the midst of our trials and tests we are just not so very sure how any of this can "work" for good or for "God", as a matter of fact most of the time we get so caught up in the emotional frustration of the day by day moment that we can easily lose track of our Spiritual bearings and revert to the methods of flesh to sustain or bring us out.

 

But in our frustration we are often like the proverbial DoDo Bird making belly flops for landings in places and making choices that are totally off balance and off point for our future destination.

 

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight"

Proverbs 3:5-6

 

In the midst of lifes storms our first reaction has one goal in mind and that's to retreat from the storm by any means possible, it's called the "Survival Instinct"

but our Heavenly does not intend for us to live after the dictates, whims or even strengths of our base nature. HE has raised us up together and seated us in Heavenly Places WITH Christ Jesus.

 

Therefore HE has instructed us in HIS Word to "WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH (Baser Instincts) but to WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT" (being led by the HOLY SPIRIT), that we will not fulfill the LUSTS OF THE FLESH,

 

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.…

Romans 8:3-5

 

When we walk in the Spirit we are able to have the patience, faith, confidence and love that it takes to seek our Heavenly Father for the proper Solutions and Directions we need to shall we say "come out of our trials without the smell of smoke" just as the three Hebrews boys and bring God the Glory due HIM for showing Himself mighty as HE did in the fiery furnace with the Hebrews boys.

 

Our Heavenly Father want's to show up as the "Fourth" man in your firey trial, HE want's to be the ONE to surround you and keep the flames from kindling upon you or consuming you, because HE knows just how much you can bear and HE want's you to win and not turn back from your journey to the promised land. Just as HE took the children of Israel the longer path lest when they would see War they would turn back in fear and defeat.

 

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, "The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt." Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up in martial array from the land of Egypt.…

Exodus 13:17-18

 

The wilderness is just a little place on the way to the promised land, IF we hear and take heed in the wilderness.

 

The children of Israel could have been out of the wilderness in two (2) years but their newly learned mindset when they were in Egypt caused them to continue their fault of  always' second guessing God through "Self" motivation whenever they were in a test.

 

As covenant people we want to make Kingdom choices that will move us not only foward but in the right direction to reach our God given Destiny to magnify the Lord Our God in the earth. So before you make choices under pressure do seek the face, mind and heart of God for your life and you just might find that even the wilderness is a better route for you to get to your Promised Land.

 

Choose to Obey and Follow God

 

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 1:16-20
