Ever had "one of those days"? Or maybe, it's one of those weeks, or months or years. On my journey through life as a saved, sanctified, separated sister, I thought I would be singing more of Edwin Hawkins' "Oh Happy Day!" and less of Natalie Cole's "I'm Catching Hell." But, that doesn't always seem to be the case. Wouldn't it be nice if everything was easy once you got saved? Well, it would be if God took us home as soon as He saved us, but if you're saved and still here, then He has work for you to do. And, because we are in this world and not of this world, there will be hard times here.
We don't go through rough times because God is mean or cruel. Just look at all the second, third and fourth chances He has given you if you need to understand grace and mercy. We go through hard times because we live in a sinful world. But, have you ever stopped to imagine what it would be like if we had to face the same issues without God. Imagine if you didn't have the everyday safety ad security to know that regardless of the circumstance, God has your best interest in mind. Sometimes God allows things to happen to give us the opportunity to grow in Him, to show our faith, and to know He is God. Nothing that comes against us can ever harm us, with Him on our side. Believe that! Ms. EV
