Heart to Heart

Storms are going to come. That’s
certainly encouraging isn’t it? What a
great way to start a blog post! But
this is what the Lord has been teaching
me lately. Storms are going to
come, and they are to mold me and
make me into the image of Christ.
Romans 8:28, is still true. God is still
in control and his ways are not our
ways nor are his thoughts our
thoughts. You know everything God
does is at the precise time! This
week in our Sunday School class we
were studying Galatians 4. A phrase
in verse 4 stuck out to me, “But when
the fullness of time was come, God
sent forth his Son…” You know there
was no accident or chance involved
in the time that Christ was born. It
was all exactly at the moment that
God had planned from the beginning
of time. Wiersbe says that it refers to
that time when the world was providentially
ready for the birth of a Savior.
Besides the fact that the world
was religiously bankrupt and there
was a spiritual hunger everywhere,
the Roman empire itself helped in the
preparation…there were roads leading
everywhere, and there was a
common language. So many things
that come into play. Everything was
planned to the smallest detail. The
really neat thing about this, is that the
same God is still in control today. He
is still working and moving. He is
never early or late, but always right
on time! He is right there in the
middle of the storm. He has promised
never to leave us, and his timing
is always absolutely perfect! So
whatever you are facing in your life.
I pray that you find hope and peace in
knowing that God does all things well.
That he has a reason and a purpose.
