********************
Have you ever had times in your life when you really
had a hard time figuring out how the things in your life were
working for your good? I must confess there have been times
when I have asked the Lord, “Lord, how can this be for my
good?” But, you know, on every occasion God’s Word proved
itself true.
Like the man who was shipwrecked but managed to
reach an uninhabited island... there, to protect himself against
the elements and to safeguard the few possessions he had
salvaged, he painstakingly built a little hut from which he
constantly and prayerfully scanned the horizon for the
approach of a ship. Returning one evening after a search for
food, he was terrified to find the hut completely enveloped in
flames. Yet by divine mercy this hard affliction was changed
into a mighty advantage. Early the following morning he
awoke to find a ship anchored off the island. When the
captain stepped ashore, he explained, “We saw your smoke
signal and came.” Everything the marooned man owned had
to be destroyed before he could be rescued.
I have a saying that goes...”God never does things to
us; He always does things for us.” So it is in your life today.
God is working all things out for your good, and I might add,
for His glory.
