Did you know
that God can use a single moment to transform your life for the better? God is
always working, even when we have no idea what He's doing. He loves to bless us
with His amazing, awe-inspiring goodness, even when we least expect it or when
things don't seem to be going the right way. Romans 8:28 is a popular verse and
it never gets old. It's one of the most encouraging verses in the entire Bible.
"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good
of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them"
(NLT). I love the word "everything" in this verse. We tend to
think of bad things and difficult seasons, but "everything" includes
more. It includes the good things as well as the things that we are indifferent
about. God takes all of those things and works them out for our good. He wants
you to be the kind of person who thinks about His promises all the time, who
believes the best, and who keeps hoping when others just give up. If you live
this way, I believe you'll be amazed at how God works in your life. You'll
experience His favor in "God-ordained moments." A God-ordained
moment is an incredible, supernatural event that God's been setting up, working
behind the scenes so that you can experience His goodness at just the right time.
These
God-ordained moments don't come on our schedule, but when they come, all we can
say is: "Wow!"
I want to
remind you not to allow discouragement, a busy schedule or the hurts from your
past to cause you to miss what God is doing in your life. Most importantly,
don't give up on being blown away by God's favor. Because of how big our God is
and how much He loves us, I believe that we can experience "Wow"
moments on a continual basis, as long as we continue to love Him and obey His
Word. I’m believing with you to experience God-ordained moments in your life.
