MORNING TEA. THE WORD
FOR TODAY
SUNDAY MAY 5, 2019.
"WHEN THINGS DON’T WORK OUT AS YOU PLAN"
“Whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you.”
Romans 15:24 NKJV
THE WORLD isn’t going to devote itself to making
us happy, and only when we accept that can we
begin to move forward. Much of the time life
doesn’t work out the way we plan. Paul wrote,
“Whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you.”
But he never got to Spain; instead, he landed in
prison. But it was from there he wrote the epistles.
So your disappointment may turn out to be God’s
appointment! The Bible says, “In his heart a man
plans his course, but the Lord determines his
steps” (Proverbs 16:9 NIV). Aren’t you glad God’s
in control of your life? Let the philosophers argue
over why life works as it does; just you focus on
how to live it! If you live to be a hundred, what
good is it if resentment and regret keep you from
enjoying it? And what good is more time, if you’re
just wasting the time you’ve got? Do you know how
an oyster makes a pearl? When a grain of sand
gets into its shell and irritates it, the oyster wraps
the sand in layers of beauty until a pearl is formed.
An unknown poet wrote, “This tale has a moral, for
isn’t it grand, what an oyster can do with a morsel
of sand? What couldn’t I do if I’d only begin, with
all of the things that get under my skin?” God is at
work in what you’re going through today—for your
good and His glory. All you need to do is trust
Him.
