God is faithful!

My encouragement today is something we already know. God never makes a mistake! The issue is "we don't understand" what He is doing or "why is He allowing this" and then our mind begins to race with questions that don't have a satisfactory answer. Beginning today, decide that you will "take those thought captives" (II Corinthians 10:5). Instead of allowing your mind to run possibilities, read God's Word; check His record, depend on His heart. Much of life has no rhyme or reason "today". Don't allow yourself to make a judgement based on a time frame that only lasts decades; God deals with eternity. Something you might not understand today may have an effect years from now that you will never see on earth. God has already proven His love for us; we can trust He will not waste any situation that we can't explain.
Again, we all know this. The test everyday is putting this in practice, Make the wise decision, never allow the assumption that God is allowing something hurtful or useless. God has plans for us that are filled with hope, for our welfare and good; especially when we can't see or explain them.Trust His heart especially when you cannot see His hand!
