Walking It Out

Going through life to try to do the right things in following our God can be challenging. We may do well sometimes and not so well at other times. In all cases one thing is true. God never changes.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

If God never changes and we are experiencing challenges, what shall we say this is? Likely there is not one perfect answer here that fits all situations. But there are some indicators in scripture.

Philippians 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

We can be encouraged to know that the changes are likely from God. He is moving in us for our good. When we see changes, good or bad, we should pray and seek God’s wisdom. He will guide, comfort, and encourage us in the direction he wants us to go.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You. You alone are worthy to be praised. We long for Your kingdom in the earth. We praise Your Holy Name. You alone are worthy of our praise. Help us when we get off track. We need Your grace, love, and encouragement, today and everyday. Please send today Your healing, deliverance, and overwhelming provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
