All in Good
We wake up in the morning to good days, and bad days; some are by their very nature joyous, but others will be filled with turmoil and angst. Although each day in our life will consist of worldly good and bad occurrences our faith will determine how we approach, and deal with them. Do you call on the Lord the moment you open your eyes, and lean on Him as you step from your bed?
What are the things that that our Heavenly Father has given us? Today is Father’s Day, and it is appropriate that we should always remember it on a Sunday. As Christians we have two Fathers, one who is earthly, and another who is Spiritual. Each of these has a role to fill in our lives, and certain gifts to give us. Each teaches us, and makes us to be something more than we ever thought possible.
How strong is your faith? Is it strong enough that you can face the hatred of those around you? Is your faith firm enough to withstand the trials and persecution that nonbelievers will put you through? Is it like steel when Satan comes against you because of it? Is it invincible even when those who you love, and that you thought loved you, turn against you for it? When your faith has grown, and becomes like an adornment of shiny armor, that is when the evil one will test you with all the weapons at his disposal. It is then that you must trust wholeheartedly in the Lord because at that moment your very soul lies in the balance.
Do you think that God doesn't see what we do under the cover of darkness? Well, think again because God is more than familiar with darkness. We associate God with light because He created it... He radiates it, and where it exists, darkness is overcome; so if you define darkness as the absence of light then prior to creation there was only darkness, and yet God was there. God sees us, and all that we do... even in the dark.
