CHANGE:
I asked my Redeemer during some very stressful events of late, "Can anything good come out of this?"
My Redeemer said, "Rick, you sound like Nathaniel in John 1 when he asked Me if anything good could come out of Nazareth? Remember I told him to come and see!!!
Rick, come and see My friend!
I'm in charge of any and all Change that happens in life! I can always turn any situation around for good! Romans 8:28 - You must Trust me in this Rick!"
Then I realized that all things work together for good not some of the time but all of the time!
I must embrace change and remember our Redeemer creates change in our indigenous lives for our betterment!
During times of change our Redeemer gives us encouragement through His Sacred Scrolls. He does this by showing us that normal ordinary people like you and I were able to overcome adversity and Win in life.
Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Ruth, David, Daniel, Esther, Nehemiah etc...
I also realize that not all Wins are looked at as Wins. Some Wins happen by losing now to Win in the end. Some people Won the game of life up front and others will Win the game of life in eternity! Some actually gave their lives even to the point of death for the ultimate Prize before them.
Isaiah, Jeremiah (the weeping prophet), Stephen, Fox's Book of Martyrs, etc....
My Redeemer gave these people an extra measure of Faith that most people don't have. Romans 12:3
With that said, some things I just don't understand! However, that doesn't mean it is my place or right to interpret my Redeemer's overall plans.
I must Trust and Obey my Redeemer! There is no other way!
In 1887, just following an evangelistic meeting held by Dwight L. Moody, a young man stood to share his story in an after-service testimony meeting.
"I'm not quite sure. But I'm going to trust, and I'm going to obey. "
This song came from that statement!
"Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
Now I realize I must embrace Change and know this is my Redeemer's way of keeping me focused on Him to where there is no other way but to Trust and Obey!
"Satisfied is the person who Trusts in You my Almighty Redeemer! "
Psalm 84:11-12)
Now Just Go!
Everything is a Win when we Trust and Obey!
