Those, who did things to you to harm you, were used to set you up for something good, for the purpose of God.

Consider it good.

Genesis 50:20 (KJV) – but as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

We exchange the truth for a lie.

Not knowing, you’ve exchanged life for death.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) – for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Guard yourself against the influence of those who don’t recognize God’s greatness.

They’re blind.

II Corinthians 4:4 (KJV) – in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Every hurt you encounter is a piece of the puzzle to God’s plan for your life.

When His plan is accomplished, you can look back and see His purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) – for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Your roar or anger, does not make God do what you want.

James 1:19-20 (KJV) – wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

We speak the word.

But, is there evidence that you live the word?

Or are you, fooling you?

James 1:22 (KJV) – but be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

We claim, we don’t want to be a servant to anything or anyone.

You are the servant of sin, if you commit sin.

John 8:34 (KJV) – Jesus answered them, verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

God promised eternal life, before the beginning of the world.

That’s before He created Adam.

Titus 1:2 (KJV) – in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.

Whatever you focus on, gets BIGGER, and becomes what you rely on.

Trust in the power of God, rather than the obstacle.

God is BIGGER than the obstacle.

James 4:7 (KJV) – submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

So many find excuses to come to the Lord.

God will meet you right where you are.

Just submit to Him.

James 4:8 (KJV) – draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
