Its Not Happening To You…Its Happening For You

Do what you need to do in us Heavenly Father, for we don’t want second best, but all that You have Willed for our life.  In Jesus name we ask this, Amen.

“Don’t fear your test or trials. For they are to strengthened your understanding and trust in our Father and increase your faith.” – Jesus

Exodus 20:20 NLT  “Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!”

1 Peter 1:6-7 NLT 6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

Instead of always looking at what is happening TO us, we need to see what is happening IN us.  When we have this perspective of our circumstances and situations, we will have less fear and frustration and allow more of God’s peace and joy, to return to us.  For it is in our circumstances, when we are at our wits end, that we can come to realize the vastness of God’s love, mercy, grace and power.

But we can only see this, if we take our eyes off of us and place our focus on God.  For example, if I pray for deliverance from any situation I may be going through, and if I continue to only think about what is happening to me, what I may be losing or not getting;  hopelessness, fear and disbelief in God is bred.  I will begin to sink further into my doubts and fears that God is not able or will not help me.  The longer God takes, the greater I sink into this condition.

However, when I think about what God is doing within me, increasing my faith, trust, hope, peace and perseverance, removing sin, eliminating unhealthy thinking and living, renewing and regenerating a right spirit and a clean heart in me; I am strengthened by the knowledge that God is in control and on my side.  He is doing a great and perfect work in me, so that I will be made acceptable and presentable to His Son, when He returns for those God has given Him.

I’ve learned a long time ago that being “almost clean”, being “almost right” with God, isn’t going to cut it.  All spots and wrinkles in me must be removed.  There can’t be any lingering, secret, unrepentant sins in my life.  Therefore for me, every trial and test that God allows in my life, is part of His perfecting Will for me.

My brothers and sisters, its all in how we see it.  Either God is for us as He says He is or we are still going through the motions, playing church, being religious versus having a complete relationship with Christ.  Knowing that everything in our lives is for His purpose for us should draw us closer to Him and help us to endure our tests and trials that we by now know will come.  Again, God tells us:

Jeremiah 29:11-14 NLT 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”

Hallelujah and Amen!
