Today’s post was inspired by one of the devotions in “Jesus Calling” by Sara Young. I call it “Soul Winning”…
Do not resist or run from troubles
Problems are not random mistakes
They are hand tailored blessings
Designed for your benefit
To help you grow in
His Mercy and Grace
Embrace all the circumstances
God allows in your life
Trusting He will bring
The good from it all
View problems as opportunities
To rely more fully on God
Troubles will
Equip you for the call
God says: “When you start to feel stressed
Let those feelings alert you of your need to rely more fully on
Me”. “Your needs become doorways to deeper dependence and increases our intimacy”.
Self-sufficiency is acclaimed in a fallen world
But reliance on God produces abundant living
Thank Him not only for the good in your life
But for every single thing He is giving
For every situation… every single circumstance
Was ordained by God in the beginning
It is all meant for the good of your soul
And to be used in your call of soul winning
So use what you learn from trials and troubles
To help others in the same situation
For we are “the called” according to His plan
Which is to bring EVERYONE into Salvation
