Jeremiah 29:11

 

These words probably did not sooth and sit well with the Israelites. They were in exile and pretty much had nothing. And God was the one who put them there… Yes on part because of their own actions… but the point is… what we might think is bad, may actually be good… and visa versa. 

 

James makes it clear in his book that we will face trials (James 1:2) and Peter tells us not to be surprised by the trials that come our way (1 Peter 4:12). Although they faced many trials, these disciples of Jesus had the bigger picture in mind.

 

Life seems like chance, it seems unfair… and guess what- it is unfair, but its not by chance. God knows each one of us and he wants his will done in our lives. We can work with him or we can work against him, but he won’t give up. and we may not gain the reward that was meant for us… but it was not by chance. 

There are many foes in our life, satan, family, and ourselves… but its not by chance. God told us we are in war, he told us people will hate us because they first hated him, he told us to find joy in tribulation and he even exhibited a life of problems while here on earth. But his life was not by chance.

So it looks like there is no rhyme or reason to your life… trust God and know that there is. Seek to work with him… Look we all know the Karate kid, wax on wax off… made not sense at the time, but when the need arose, he was wax’n more than cars he was wax’n kids off the mat.
