Thursday's Thought

Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked? Ecclesiastes 7:13

God often seems to place His children in places of deep difficulty. Leading them into a corner from which there is no escape. He creates situations that human judgment, even if consulted, would never allow. Yet the cloudiness of the circumstance itself is used by Him to guide us to the other side. Perhaps this is where you find yourself even now.

Your situation is filled with uncertainty and is very serious but it is perfectly right. The reason behind it will more than justify Him who brought you here, for it is a platform from which God will display His almighty grace and power. He not only will deliver you but in doing so will impart a lesson that you will never forget. And in days to come, you will return to the truth of it through singing. You will be unable to ever thank God enough for doing exactly what He has done.

I wanted to share this devotional with you today because It so encouraged me and was just what I needed to read today. I figured It might be just the thing for you too. We need to dig deep in our spirit man, take courage and continue to trust God. He knows all about every one of us, our shortcomings, failures and strengths ... AND He has the perfect plan already in place for you and for me.

Remember, where you find yourself today is exactly the right place even though you don't understand it! God has you there for a reason. Trust Him! He loves you more than you can begin to grasp!
