Road That Leads to Success
Apr 30, 2010 Christian Articles
God often uses slow storms and divine detours to get you down the path of His calling and purpose for your life. Bad things do happen to good people, but remember “all things work together for the good of those who love God, those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). It’s not that God intentionally intends us to go through these difficulties, but God uses them for His purposes in our lives.
When we experience some kind of failure; we feel that life is over. It seems that nothing else is left to move on. God wants to take your failure and turn it into the foundation for how He uses you for the rest of your life. Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you can turn out to be the best thing that happens because God has a way of using troubled times to lay a foundation in your life and prepare you for what God wants. You’re going to experience some shipwrecks and snakebites along the journey of life.
But, God is going to get you where He wants you to be. If you become more like Christ through ups and downs, then even failures can be seen as success. Abraham Lincoln has gone through many failures. His mother died, he failed in business, he lost his job, he was engaged but his fiance died and his heart was broken. It was devastating to him.
Finally, when we look at last point where God took him, then we know that he was the elected as president of the United States of America. In our life, whatever failures we are facing. We’ve been created to celebrate the sovereignty of God. God is sovereign. He is always at work and your job is to trust Him all the times of your life.
Hope in the Lord
Apr 29, 2010 Faith
Have you never heard or understood?
Don’t you know that the LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth? He never grows faint or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out;
he offers strength to the weak.
Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up.
But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength.
They will fly high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40:28-31)
