Does God Allow Everything that happens in your life? Does he really have a purpose behind each event, every circumstances of every day? Jeremiah wrote, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
(Jeremiah 29:11).
This promise appeals to us. Who doesn't want to prosper and to sustain no harm? Consider this verse that became the focus of a best selling book: "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that you would bless me, and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request". (1 Chronicles 4:10)
But in promises such as these, we often see what we want to envision, not God's ability to sustain us in difficult times. Our priority is our will, not God's will. Life is filled with difficulties. Babies are born who fight for their lives. You get laid off. The doctor says you have cancer. Then your heart cries, "Oh God, I thought you said everything would be great if I followed you!"
God uses tough time and difficult people to soften us so that we become more like His Son. When difficulties come, it isn't necessarily a reflection of His disapproval as much as it is the reality that we live in a broken world.
God's purpose for your life includes times of walking through difficult times by faith. Faith is a commitment to the belief that God is good and he will honor His word no matter how you feel. Trust Him. He knows what He's doing even we don't.
