"We
know that all things work together for good to those who love God" Romans
8:28
If
you think about it; it’s only a faithful person who truly believes that God
sovereignty controls his or her circumstances. We take our circumstances for
granted so many times by saying “God is in control” but not really believing
it. We act as if the things that happen were completely controlled by people.
To be faithful in every circumstance means that we have only one loyalty, Jesus
Christ. God may cause our circumstances to suddenly fall apart, which may bring
the realization of our unfaithfulness to Him for not recognizing that He had
ordained the situation. We never saw what He was trying to accomplish. This is
where the test of our faithfulness comes. If we will just learn to worship God
even during the difficult circumstances, He will change them for the better
very quickly if He so chooses.
Being
faithful to Jesus Christ is the most difficult thing we try to do. We will be
faithful to our work, to serving others, or to anything else; just don’t ask us
to be faithful to Jesus Christ. Many Christians become very impatient or offended
when we talk about their faithfulness to Jesus. We treat God as if He were a
machine designed only to bless us, and we think of Jesus as just another one of
the workers.
The
goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be
free to do His work through us. God calls us to His service and places
tremendous responsibilities on us. He expects no complaining on our part and
offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son.
CHANGE… It’s my life motto!
