Todays meditation: GOD INTENDED IT ALL FOR GOOD. Sometimes we go through stuff. And it is usually painful stuff. People who we loved or we thought loved us we find they are actually Judas’s and doing things behind our backs, plotting our destruction. Look at Joseph with his brothers, they were plotting to kill him if not for the providence of God, which made them change their minds and sell him into slavery instead. Look at Judas, who sold Jesus to the Sanhedrin for 30 pieces of silver. Sometimes the closest to you are the ones who will betray you. The Lord doesn’t sugar coat this, He says whatever they have done to Me, they will do to you also, for the disciple isn’t greater than the teacher. Pick up your cross and Follow Me. So saints our job isn’t to question why, but to pick up our cross and Follow Him. Trusting Him with the outcome. Since God allows troubles in our lives for various reasons, and sometimes it is to save the lives of many other people. That is called coredemptive suffering (suffering in union with Him for the sake or salvation of others). That is why Paul says, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Amen 🙏

Tonights meditation: AND BECAUSE THE MIDWIVES FEARED GOD, HE GAVE THEM FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN. EXODUS 1:20-22. It is so important to fear God. It is not important to fear man. What is man that you consider him, when his breath leaves his nostril? Yet the Lord considers the actions of man, and will count and number his days. We bless the Lord for His consideration of us. Let us fear the Lord so that He can continue to bless us with families of our own for generations to come so that we become a strong nation and multiply. God bless. 🙏
