A Purpose For Every Rock In Our Path

 

Everyone encounters setbacks and disappointments.  I admit some have more than their fair share and we struggle to wrap our minds around the “whys”.  Sometimes our choices in life lead us along a rocky path and many times it is another person’s choices that create havoc in our lives.  Now it’s not easy but this is when I have to step back and make the decision:  I will not be ruled by frustration or my emotions and I will accept that God is in control.  He is the Creator of the Universe and knows the beginning from the end and every point in between.  He knows every thought and event that comes into the life of His children and nothing happens without His allowing it to be put into motion.  He directs our path—we may not know or understand His plans but just know there’s a reason for every step, every stumble, every success and every failure.  We must trust Him at all times regardless of how we feel – this is a decision we make and we must not allow our emotions to take control.

 

 

Colossians 1:16-17   For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.  And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
