Our Sovereign God

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?  Romans 2:4

 

Has it ever bothered you that some people who turn their backs on God seem to go through life without ever having anything bad happen to them? Life is so easy for them that they can't see any reason to bother with God.

But we don't know their hearts. Deep inside they may actually be very insecure and fearful--and they may not even be able to admit it to themselves.

We also need to remember that God sees the whole picture, while we see only a little part. God knows what He is doing, and He can be trusted to do what is right according to His perfect plan.

Sadly, these people will one day die and face judgment. God's goodness to them should have caused them to turn to Him in thankfulness and trust, but instead they ignored His blessings and lived only for themselves. How tragic!

Ask God to use you to point others to Christ--even those who seemingly have no interest in Him.
