EXPECT GOOD THIINGS

There’re 2 ways to look at life: Job’s way or Paul’s way.

Job saw life as a string of unending troubles; He said in Job 14:1 that “Life is short and sorrowful for every living soul;” (CEV). With such a pessimistic outlook of life, it’s unlikely Job ever enjoyed his wealth and abundance.

Paul, on the other hand, declares that “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Rom 8:28).

This is why, regardless of the challenges perturbing him, he was always on the lookout for the opportunity God was opening for him through those trials.

This should be our outlook on life as well. As long as you’re a child of God, know that the sum total of your life is greatness.

If we allow the Devil to keep us fixated on the ills and evils in our life, we’ll never be conscious – and grateful – of the workings of God in us.

But whether we realise it or not, God is constantly working great things for, in and through us. It’s just that we’re often too blind to see it.

As we saw in the lives of Ruth and Esther, no bad incident of the enemy upon you will be allowed to go unpunished!

Therefore, Beloved,

When you see evil, expect the good.

When you see heartbreak, expect comfort.

When you see loss, expect restoration.

When you see darkness, know that your light is about to break forth explosively on every side.

Expect good things, therefore, in the midst of the present evil. For that is certainly true of you as God’s child.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
