Day 149 God Is Just Plain Good!!
Philippians 4:6 New King James Version
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
We had this same verse on Day 148. Today notice the little two letter word that I have underlined. We are to pray and be thankful in every circumstance. Some say we should be thankful for every circumstance because God sent them all. That would be good if it were correct. Let’s look at what the Bible says.
Here’s what the Bible says:
John 10:10 Amplified Bible
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
And another:
James 1:17 New King James Version
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
And another:
Proverbs 10:22 New King James Version
The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.
If you read through the Matthew, Mark, Luke and John there is account after account how Jesus went about healing and delivering people. The only time He couldn’t was when the people were in unbelief. Jesus wanted to heal and deliver all the time.
GPS (Directions)
· Read John 10:10 again.
· Ask yourself this question: Am I enjoying my life? Of course we go through trials. The Bible tells us that, but the operative word is that we go through them because they are not from God. We remember that God sent Jesus to the cross that the “destroy the works of the devil.” (I John 3: 8)
· Read the following scriptures and think about the heart of God towards you.
Hebrews 6:18
Deuteronomy 32:4
II Samuel 7:28
Prayer Focus:
Thank God for everything “good and perfect” in your life and ask Him to use the trial that you are in for good and then move you through it so you can be a testimony of His delivering power.
