FORWARD IN FAITH

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose,” Romans 8:28 ESV.  Even after miraculous deliverance, Israel’s final escape from four hundred years of slavery in Egypt was fraught with complications. And just as things had greatly improved, they saw an army in angry pursuit to the rear, an opening sea ahead and empty desert beyond. When your back is against the wall, the only choice is to move forward. I get this. Most of my significant progress has been forced by difficult circumstances. The goodness of God doesn’t always look so good at first glance, but in the end, He works His will in us and through us, most often using circumstances we would never choose along the way. Glorious Father, I praise and exalt you. You formed me for Your will, and You keep pressing me into it. LORD, Your wonders never cease.
