God has a plan for us

It is often difficult to understand or accept that God is busy fulfilling His plan in our lives especially when we are going through difficult and taxing times. When Joseph was sold into slavery, when an unscrupulous woman robbed him of his freedom and when his friends forgot about him, it was unlikely that he would see in the hands of God in all those happenings. Nevertheless, when after many years, he looked back upon the road he had travelled, he did see the hands of God in his life.

If we are in deep waters of affliction right now, if we are experiencing problems and sorrow, remember that it might be part of God's tapestry. He determines the pattern of our lives. In our darkest moment, hold on steadfast that God is still in control despite the appearances of the situation. Rather know that God can give purpose and meaning to suffering. Life's darkest moment can be a testimony of God's perfect purpose for our lives.

In our present circumstances, difficult and heart-rending as they might be, hold on to the assurance that God is busy working out His perfect plan for our lives. There is nothing which God cannot complete. It is not God's will for us to be permanently remain in the dark valley of despondency. In His time, He will make all things beautiful and meaningful again.

There are three things which only God knows: the beginning of things, the cause of things and the end of things. I will put my trust and faith in God although He seems so far away at this moment. In time, all things can be a liberating experience for God is bigger than any problem which could ever arise. In the words of Proverbs 3:6 "In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path". Be assured that God is our guarantee for a blessed future.
