不再有意料之外的事

只有 神借着圣灵向我们显明了。因为圣灵参透万事，就是 神深奥的事也参透了（哥林多前书2:10）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，上帝并非充满了意外，祂不是一位不可知的上帝，喜欢让你经常猜测祂。然而，数不清的基督徒却都有这样的想法。

他们说：“你永远不知道上帝想要做什么。”他们的想法是根据哥林多前书2:9所说的：“ 神为爱祂的人所预备的，是眼睛未曾看见、耳朵未曾听见、人心也未曾想到的。”他们这样解释这节经文的意思：上帝是在向祂的子民保守秘密。

但是，赞美上帝，祂没有保守秘密。

事实上，在哥林多后书2:9后面的第10节说：上帝赐给我们祂的灵，向我们显明一切奥秘！是的，上帝想让我们知道祂的心意。

如果你根本不知道上帝对你的旨意，那么从今天开始，你不用再“不知”下去。因为上帝想让你知道祂对你生命的计划和预备，只要你让祂显明，祂就会向你显明。

所以对上帝的旨意别靠猜测，今天就下定决心，要得到圣灵的启示---就是研读上帝的话语并靠着圣灵祷告，求祂启示你圣经的真理，求祂发出光来照亮祂的旨意，使你懂得你应该怎样行出祂的旨意。

记住：上帝不是在对你保守秘密，而是要向你显明一切奥秘。听从上帝的话语，那么你的生命就决不再是未知的生命。

研经：哥林多前书2:1-16

2:1 弟兄们，从前我到你们那里去并没有用高言大智对你们宣传 神的奥秘。  

2:2 因为我曾定了主意，在你们中间不知道别的，只知道耶稣基督，并祂钉十字架。  

2:3 我在你们那里又软弱、又惧怕、又甚战兢，

2:4 我说的话、讲的道不是用智慧委婉的言语，乃是用圣灵和大能的明证。  

2:5 叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧，只在乎 神的大能。  

2:6 然而在完全的人中，我们也讲智慧，但不是这世上的智慧，也不是这世上有权有位将要败亡之人的智慧，  

2:7 我们讲的，乃是从前所隐藏 神奥秘的智慧，就是 神在万世以前预定使我们得荣耀的。

2:8 这智慧世上有权有位的人没有一个知道的，他们若知道，就不把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了。

2:9 如经上所记“ 神为爱祂的人所预备的，是眼睛未曾看见、耳朵未曾听见、人心也未曾想到的”，

2:10 只有 神借着圣灵向我们显明了，因为圣灵参透万事，就是 神深奥的事也参透了。  

2:11 除了在人里头的灵，谁知道人的事像这样？除了 神的灵，也没有人知道 神的事。  

2:12 我们所领受的并不是世上的灵，乃是从 神来的灵，叫我们能知道 神开恩赐给我们的事。  

2:13 并且我们讲说这些事不是用人智慧所指教的言语，乃是用圣灵所指教的言语，将属灵的话解释属灵的事。

2:14 然而属血气的人不领会 神圣灵的事，反倒以为愚拙，并且不能知道，因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透。  

2:15 属灵的人能看透万事，却没有一人能看透了他。  

2:16 谁曾知道主的心去教导祂呢？但我们是有基督的心了。  

No More Surprises

1 CORINTHIANS 2: 10 these are the things GOD has revealed to us by HIS SPIRIT. The SPIRIT searches all things, even the deep things of GOD.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

GOD is not full of surprises. He's not an unpredictable GOD who likes to keep you guessing. Countless believers, however, have the idea HE is.

"You just never know what GOD is going to do," they say. They base that idea on 1 Corinthians 2:9 which says, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD hath prepared for them that love HIM." They interpret that scripture to mean that GOD is keeping secrets from HIS people.

But, praise GOD, HE isn't!

In fact, verse 10 says HE's given us HIS SPIRIT to reveal those secrets to us! HE wants us to know everything that's on HIS heart.

If you're in the dark about GOD's will for you, you don't have to stay that way. HE wants you to know about HIS plans and provisions for your life. HE will show them to you if you'll let HIM.

So, don't depend on guesswork. Determine today that you're going to start receiving that revelation from the HOLY SPRIT. As you read the WORD, pray in the SPIRIT and ask HIM to reveal to you the reality of the Scriptures. Ask HIM to shed HIS light on them and show you exactly how they apply to you.

Remember: GOD isn't in the business of keeping secrets from you. HE's in the business of revealing them. Take time to listen to HIM and you'll never have to settle for a life of uncertainty again.

Scripture Study: 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

2: 1And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about GOD. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except JESUS CHRIST and HIM crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the SPIRIT’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on GOD’s power.

GOD’s Wisdom Revealed by the SPIRIT

6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare GOD’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that GOD destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory. 9 However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,

what no ear has heard,

and what no human mind has conceived”—

the things GOD has prepared for those who love HIM—

10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The SPIRIT searches all things, even the deep things of GOD. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of GOD except the SPIRIT of GOD. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT who is from GOD, so that we may understand what GOD has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the SPIRIT, explaining spiritual realities with SPIRIT-taught words. 14 The person without the SPIRIT does not accept the things that come from the SPIRIT of GOD but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the SPIRIT. 15 The person with the SPIRIT makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the LORD

so as to instruct HIM?”

But we have the mind of CHRIST.

上帝能指望你吗？

主说：“谁是那忠心有见识的管家，主人派他管理家里的人，按时分粮给他们呢？”（路加福音12:42）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，我们常常为上帝的信实而赞美祂，也感谢上帝，祂总是在那里，使我们永远能够倚靠祂。然而，有一个事实却是我们很少思考的，就是上帝也需要我们对祂忠诚，并且服从祂的命令。

这是真的，上帝需要可指望的人，祂需要忠心有见识的管家，能够委派他们管理自己的家。在这末后的日子，上帝需要忠心的跟从者们与祂同工，在地上将祂的荣耀前所未有地发扬光大。

可能你会说：“哦，维德，上帝并不需要我！”

不，我向你保证，上帝需要你。在创世之初，上帝就赐给人类管理地球的权柄（创世纪1:26 神说：“我们要照着我们的形像、按着我们的样式造人，使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜和全地、并地上所爬的一切昆虫），要人类与祂一同成就祂完美的旨意（诗篇8:6 你派他管理你手所造的，使万物，就是一切的牛羊、田野的兽、空中的鸟、海里的鱼、凡经行海道的，都服在他的脚下），从圣经中你就能够看到这一点。以色列人在埃及为奴的时候，上帝要将他们领出埃及，于是祂拣选一个人与自己同工，一起完成了这个任务，这个人就是摩西。摩西的责任是按照上帝的旨意，在地上伸出他的杖，讲出上帝的命令【交叉参考：1）诗篇8:6---创世纪1:28。2）诗篇8:6---约伯记10:3；诗篇19:1，102:25，145:10；以赛亚26:12，29:23，45:11；希伯来1:10。3）诗篇8:6---列王记上5:3；哥林多前书15:25，27*；以弗所1:22；希伯来2，6-8*】

上帝为何会拣选摩西呢？因为上帝所需要的，是一个忠心又服从，并且敢于行出祂话语的人，祂需要一个可指望的人，而祂知道摩西就是这样的人。

诗篇103:7说：“上帝使摩西知道祂的法则，叫以色列人晓得祂的作为。”如果摩西不是充满信心地来懂得上帝的法则，那么以色列人就看不到上帝行神迹了。

上帝也需要你，就像需要摩西一样。上帝需要你充满信心地敏锐洞悉灵上的事；祂需要你成为祂可信任的人，懂得并服从祂的话语；祂需要你作祂忠心有见识的管家，像摩西一样地伸出手里的杖，那么祂就会在世人面前显出神迹奇事。

你会对上帝忠心吗？这需要你自己作出决定，没有人能替你作。现在就将自己献上，作上帝忠心有见识的仆人，心口同呼：上帝，您能指望我！

研经：诗篇105:23-45

105:23 以色列也到了埃及、雅各在含地寄居。  

105:24 耶和华使祂的百姓生养众多、使他们比敌人强盛，  

105:25 使敌人的心转去恨祂的百姓、并用诡计待祂的仆人。  

105:26 祂打发祂的仆人摩西和祂所拣选的亚伦，  

105:27 在敌人中间显祂的神迹、在含地显祂的奇事。  

105:28 祂命黑暗，就有黑暗，没有违背祂话的。  

105:29 祂叫埃及的水变为血，叫他们的鱼死了。  

105:30 在他们的地上，以及王宫的内室，青蛙多多滋生。  

105:31 祂说一声，苍蝇就成群而来，并有虱子进入他们四境。  

105:32 祂给他们降下冰雹为雨，在他们的地上降下火焰。  

105:33 祂也击打他们的葡萄树和无花果树，毁坏他们境内的树木。  

105:34 祂说一声就有蝗虫蚂蚱上来，不计其数，  

105:35 吃尽了他们地上各样的菜蔬和田地的出产。  

105:36 祂又击杀他们国内一切的长子，就是他们强壮时头生的。  

105:37 祂领自己的百姓带银子金子出来，祂支派中没有一个软弱的。  

105:38 他们出来的时候埃及人便欢喜，原来埃及人惧怕他们。  

105:39 祂铺张云彩当遮盖，夜间使火光照。  

105:40 他们一求，祂就使鹌鹑飞来，并用天上的粮食叫他们饱足。  

105:41 祂打开磐石，水就涌出；在干旱之处，水流成河。  

105:42 这都因祂记念祂的圣言，和祂的仆人亚伯拉罕。  

105:43 祂带领百姓欢乐而出，带领选民欢呼前往。  

105:44 祂将列国的地赐给他们，他们便承受众民劳碌得来的。  

105:45 好使他们遵他的律例，守他的律法。你们要赞美耶和华。阿们！

Can GOD Count on You?

Luke 12: 42 The LORD answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We often praise GOD for HIS faithfulness. We're thankful that we can always count on HIM to be there for us. But we rarely consider the fact that HE needs us to be faithful and obedient to HIS commands too.

It's true. GOD needs people HE can count on. HE needs faithful and wise stewards HE can trust over HIS household. In this final hour, HE needs faithful followers to team up with, to manifest HIMSELF in the earth more than ever before.

You may say "Oh Victor, GOD doesn't need me!"

Yes, I assure you! GOD does. Ever since the Creation, when HE gave man dominion over the earth, (Gen. 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”) HE needed people to work with HIM to get HIS will done here (Ps. 8:6 YOU made them rulers over the works of YOUR hands; YOU put everything under their feet). You can see that all through the Bible. When the children of Israel were in bondage in Egypt and GOD wanted to lead them out, HE teamed up with a man, Moses, to get the job done. Moses' responsibility was to stretch out his hand in the earth and command the will of GOD to be done. Cross references:

1.Psalm 8:6 : S Ge 1:28

2.Psalm 8:6 : S Job 10:3; Ps 19:1; 102:25; 145:10; Isa 26:12; 29:23; 45:11; Heb 1:10

3.Psalm 8:6 : S 1Ki 5:3; 1Co 15:25, 27*; Eph 1:22; Heb 2:6-8*

Why did GOD choose Moses? Because HE needed someone who was faithful and obedient would dare to act on HIS WORD. HE needed someone HE could count on, and HE knew Moses was that kind of man.

Psalm 103:7 says, "GOD made known HIS ways unto Moses, HIS acts unto the children of Israel." If Moses hadn't been faithful to know GOD's ways, the children of Israel would never have seen GOD's miraculous acts!

GOD needs you just as HE needed Moses. HE needs you to be faithful and alert to spiritual things. HE needs you to be someone HE can trust to know HIS WORD and be obedient to it. HE needs you to be a steward who will stretch out his hand like Moses did so that HE can perform signs and wonders before the people.

Will you be faithful to GOD? It's a decision you have to make. No one can do it for you. Right now, commit yourself to be that wise and faithful servant. Say in your heart and with your mouth, "GOD, YOU can count on me."

Scripture Study: Psalm 105:23-45

23 Then Israel entered Egypt;

Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24 The LORD made HIS people very fruitful;

HE made them too numerous for their foes,

25 whose hearts HE turned to hate HIS people,

to conspire against HIS servants.

26 HE sent Moses HIS servant,

and Aaron, whom HE had chosen.

27 They performed HIS signs among them,

HIS wonders in the land of Ham.

28 HE sent darkness and made the land dark—

for had they not rebelled against HIS words?

29 HE turned their waters into blood,

causing their fish to die.

30 Their land teemed with frogs,

which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.

31 HE spoke, and there came swarms of flies,

and gnats throughout their country.

32 HE turned their rain into hail,

with lightning throughout their land;

33 HE struck down their vines and fig trees

and shattered the trees of their country.

34 HE spoke, and the locusts came,

grasshoppers without number;

35 they ate up every green thing in their land,

ate up the produce of their soil.

36 Then HE struck down all the firstborn in their land,

the first fruits of all their manhood.

37 HE brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,

and from among their tribes no one faltered.

38 Egypt was glad when they left,

because dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 HE spread out a cloud as a covering,

and a fire to give light at night.

40 They asked, and he brought them quail;

HE fed them well with the bread of heaven.

41 HE opened the rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For HE remembered HIS holy promise

given to HIS servant Abraham.

43 HE brought out HIS people with rejoicing,

HIS chosen ones with shouts of joy;

44 HE gave them the lands of the nations,

and they fell heir to what others had toiled for—

45 that they might keep HIS precepts

and observe HIS laws.

Praise the LORD. Amen!

抵挡魔鬼

故此你们要顺服 神，务要抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了（雅各书4:7）

亲爱弟兄姊妹们，如果你一直哀求上帝把魔鬼赶出你的生命，那么停止吧！因为圣经说，你能够战胜魔鬼。

怎么战胜呢？就是抵挡他。当魔鬼让你去做不是出于上帝的事情时，你就果断地抵挡他；当撒旦欺谎你时，你就用上帝的话语来否定他。抵挡魔鬼，这节说当你这样做时，魔鬼就会逃离你，他会落荒而逃。

这就意味着无论你去到哪里，当你以有行动的信心来抵挡魔鬼时，黑暗就会被你击退。

现在就击退黑暗吧，你能做到的！因为上帝和主耶稣同住在你里面（约翰福音14:23 耶稣回答说：“人若爱我就必遵守我的道，我父也必爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，与他同住”），不管你去到哪里，祂们都与你同在。每一个要困扰你的难题、每一个设法影响你生命的邪灵，它们抵挡你就是在抵挡上帝。

你要做的，就是清楚明白这一点。现在就开始让你的生命每时每刻都活在明了中，懂得上帝的光在你里面、上帝的话语在你里面、上帝的灵在你里面。

清楚地懂得主耶稣，上帝的儿子在你里面。然后，你就看着魔鬼落荒而逃吧！

研经：以弗所6:10-18

6:10 我还有末了的话，你们要靠着主，倚赖祂的大能大力作刚强的人。  

6:11 要穿戴 神所赐的全副军装，就能抵挡魔鬼的诡计。  

6:12 因我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战。

6:13 所以要拿起 神所赐的全副军装，好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌，并且成就了一切还能站立得住。  

6:14 所以要站稳了，用真理当作带子束腰、用公义当作护心镜遮胸，

6:15 又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上；

6:16 此外又拿着信德当作藤牌，可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭；  

6:17 并戴上救恩的头盔，拿着圣灵的宝剑，就是 神的道；

6:18 靠着圣灵，随时多方祷告祈求，并要在此警醒不倦，为众圣徒祈求。  

Oppose the Devil

"Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

If you've been crying and asking GOD to run the devil out of your life, STOP! The Bible says you're the one who's supposed to overcome the devil.

How? By resisting him. By rebelling against him when he tells you to do something and doing what GOD says instead! When Satan tells you some lie, contradict him with the WORD of GOD. Oppose him. This verse says when you do that, he'll flee from you. He'll "run as in terror."

That means everywhere you go, as you walk in faith and oppose the devil, darkness is pushed back.

So start pushing back that darkness. You can do it! The life of GOD is within you and JESUS HIMSELF is living inside you (Jn. 14:23 JESUS replied, “Anyone who loves ME will obey MY teaching. MY FATHER will love them, and WE will come to them and make OUR home with them”). Everywhere you go, He goes. Every problem that rises up against you, every evil spirit that tries to influence your life, is coming up against GOD when he comes up against you.

All you need to do is become conscious of that. Begin now living your life moment by moment, knowing that the light of GOD is in you. The WORD of GOD is in you. The SPIRIT of GOD is in you.

Live knowing that JESUS, the SON of GOD, is in you. Then watch the devil run!

Scripture Study: Ephesians 6:

10 Finally, be strong in the LORD and in HIS mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of GOD, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of GOD, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD.

18 And pray in the SPIRIT on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the LORD’s people.

牢记上帝的赐福

我要一心称谢耶和华，我要传扬你一切奇妙的作为，我要因你欢喜快乐。至高者阿，我要歌颂你的名（诗篇9:1-2）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，当我们信靠主耶稣时，就会被赐予惊人特权。而常常回想上帝的应许是保持感恩之心的好方法，尤其面对挑战或艰难时更是如此。思考以下四个祝福：

1）基督救恩的恩赐。无论我们经历什么样的考验，在基督为我们作出无比大的牺牲前，都显得如此地微不足道。十字架上是重价的牺牲，救世主甘心情愿地舍己来赎回我们，是为了赐给我们宽恕和永生。

2）上帝大爱的保证。上帝是无条件地爱我们---这是祂的完美品性（约翰一书4:16 神爱我们的心，我们也知道也信。 神就是爱，住在爱里面的，就是住在 神里面，神也住在他里面），但遗憾地是，生活的暴风雨却使我们对上帝的爱产生怀疑，罗马书8:31-39明确地告诉我们：任何事都不能叫我们与上帝的爱隔绝（既是这样，还有甚么说的呢？ 神若帮助我们，谁能敌挡我们呢？ 神既不爱惜自己的儿子，为我们众人舍了，岂不也把万物和祂一同白白地赐给我们么？谁能控告 神所拣选的人呢？有 神称他们为义了。谁能定他们的罪呢？有基督耶稣已经死了，而且从死里复活，现今在 神的右边也替我们祈求。谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？难道是患难么、是困苦么、是逼迫么、是饥饿么、是赤身露体么、是危险么、是刀剑么？如经上所记，我们为你的缘故终日被杀，人看我们如将宰的羊。然而靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。因为我深信，无论是死、是生、是天使、是掌权的、是有能的、是现在的事、是将来的事、是高处的、是低处的、是别的受造之物，都不能叫我们与 神的爱隔绝，这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的）

3）回应祷告。我们拥有极棒的特权，就是任何心事都能向天父诉说，祂决不会厌烦儿女们的祷告。我们无所不能、无所不知的上帝，在任何境况中不仅会帮助我们，而且会给我们最好的帮助。

4）对每个人的计划。如果我们服从上帝，那么祂就会成就祂对我们生命的旨意、计划和目的。没有人能免受逆境，但是我们能够信靠上帝而从万事中获得益处，万事都必经过祂的允许才能发生。

艰难、引诱、考验会时常临到我们，但上帝允许发生这些事自有祂的理由，只是我们不懂得（罗马书8:28 我们晓得万事都互相效力，叫爱 神的人得益处，就是按祂旨意被召的人）。所以我们应当做的，就是谦卑降服于上帝，感谢祂的智慧，并坚信祂会成就对你生命的旨意。

Remembering GOD's Blessings

Psalm 9: 1 I will give thanks to YOU, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all YOUR wonderful deeds. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in YOU; I will sing the praises of YOUR name, O MOST HIGH.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are given amazing privileges when we trust in JESUS. Recalling these promises is a good way to maintain a thankful heart, even when facing challenges and difficulties in other areas. Consider four such blessings:

1.CHRIST’s gift of salvation. No matter what trial we’re facing, it is microscopic next to the enormity of JESUS’ sacrifice on our behalf. The cross was a steep price to pay, but the Savior willingly took our place in order to offer us forgiveness and eternal life.

2.Assurance of GOD’s love. The LORD cares for us unconditionally—that is HIS very character (1 John 4:16 And so we know and rely on the love GOD has for us. GOD is love. Whoever lives in love lives in GOD, and GOD in them). Unfortunately, the storms of life can cause us to question this, but Romans 8:31–39 unequivocally tells us that nothing can separate us from GOD’s love.(31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If GOD is for us, who can be against us? 32 HE who did not spare HIS own SON, but gave HIM up for us all—how will HE not also, along with HIM, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom GOD has chosen? It is GOD who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. CHRIST JESUS who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of GOD and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of CHRIST? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of GOD that is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.)

3.Answered prayer. We have the awesome privilege of talking to the FATHER about anything burdening us—and HE never grows tired of listening to HIS children. Our omnipotent, omniscient GOD is not only able to help us in any situation; HE also knows the best possible way to do so.

                                   

4.A personalized plan. The LORD has a will, plan, and purpose for our lives that HE will accomplish if we obey HIM. No one is exempt from adversity, but we can trust GOD to bring good from everything HE permits to come our way.

Hardships, temptations, and tests will touch us all from time to time, but the LORD allows difficulty for a reason—even when we don’t understand why (Rom. 8: 28 And we know that in all things GOD works for the good of those who love HIM, who have been called according to HIS purpose.). Therefore, submit yourself to the FATHER, thank HIM for HIS wisdom, and be confident that HE will accomplish HIS purposes for you.
