Day 7

Everything God does is for your good and because He loves you. The Bible says, “All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful” and “In all things God works for the good of those who love Him..
This is something you have to remind yourself of again and again, because any time God says “no” to your prayers, satan will shoot darts of doubt at you. He’s going to whisper lies to you: “God doesn’t love you. He doesn’t care about you; otherwise, He’d give you everything you want!” But satan is a liar..
You do not have to understand GOD’s answer to your prayer to know it’s motivated by love..
Would a parent give a child a knife or a match box even if the child cried for it?..
God loves you too much to give you everything you ask for. So, when God says “no,” you’ve got three options: You can resist it, resent it, or relax in it..
You can resist God. You can fight Him, get mad at Him, turn your back on Him and and take matters into your own hands. That’s because you didn’t trust that He had a bigger perspective, a better plan, and a greater purpose for you..
You can resent it. When you doubt God’s love, it makes you bitter and miserable..
You can relax in it. When you believe that God always has your best interest at heart, you can look with new eyes at the things He does that don’t make sense..
You may not understand it. It may even be painful. But God is still good. He is loving, and He will never stop loving you. You can say, “Even in this, God’s love still remains.”
That’s the only kind of response that will bring you peace! Don’t resist or resent God’s work in your life. You can relax in the truth, in His goodness, that it is always for your good..
The Lord waits for you to come to Him so He can show you His love & compassion..
“From heaven He will send a father’s help to save me. He will trample down those who trample me. Pause in His presence He will always show me love by his gracious and constant care.……”(Psalms 57:3)
