Mind you, don’t despise the discipline of Almighty God!
True, he wounds, but he also dresses the wound;
the same hand that hurts you, heals you.
ROMANS 11:36 (MSG)
Everything comes from him;
Everything happens through him;
Everything ends up in him.
Always glory! Always praise!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Everything that happens ultimately ends up glorifying God.
DAILY FODDER
How do you find encouragement in the sovereignty of God?
PRAYER
Glory to you, the risen Christ. No matter what happens the glory ends up bouncing your direction. You deserve it because you've taken on the sins of the world and in your love have conquered it all -- flipping what was life-destroying into something life-giving. Forgive me for my attachment to the old ways. Free me to live in the flow of the redeemed -- the flow that glorifies you. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
