In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Have you ever thought about this verse? Have you ever been able to thank the Lord for the bad things that seem to happen in your life? Can you really from the deepest most since parts of your being say "thank you" for a disaster? There is the "real" test of faith. Since God promises only the best for us in life...how can "bad" seem to be "good"? "All things work together for the good for those that love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose". That verse explains it. No matter what befalls us in life, He is working for our good. Does a small child understand everything a loving parent does? No way! Neither do we see how something that hurts work for our good, but faith says it does. So we are told to rejoice! Now, we separate the "real" Christians from the "pretend" ones. How? By giving thanks for all things that come to us in life, good and bad, knowing God is working it all out for our own good as He sees fit!
Be blessed,
Billy and Jan
