God is at Work

 

1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

Do you realize that even at this moment, God is working out what concerns you? It may seem from your perspective as though He is silent or even unconcerned with your life. But he is actively engineering circumstances on your behalf.

Of course, this is something we all know in theory, but at times it is so much harder to put into practice because of how impossible our situation may seem. We absolutely cannot work out how God will deliver us, and we grow disheartened waiting for Him.

And the truth is, you’ve probably gone to Him with your troubles so many times before that you wonder if He’s really listening to you. He hasn’t answered yet – so why should you continue to go to Him? 

Yet, understand that this uncertainty is meant to build your faith – He works in all His people this way. He hasn’t abandoned you, and you are not alone. Just because you don’t perceive His activity at the moment doesn’t mean anything. Your God is working it out. Don’t doubt Him, cling to Him.
