And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. -Romans 8:28
Beloved, let's normalize recognizing and honoring God's sovereignty in all that life brings. The fact that He is sovereign means that He has absolute authority, power, and control over creation. He can execute His will without restrictions. Wouldn't this stand to reason that He has complete control and authority over the challenges that we're currently facing? I get it, some challenges are so daunting that the adversary will use them to make them larger than the truth we know from the scripture above. If we're not careful, our minds will ruminate on the problems, anxiety will set in, we become mentally exhausted, and then the desire to give up will set in. However, we must remember who our Father is. God already knew that we'd face these challenges. Remember, your story was written by Him before the foundation of the world?
God is currently using every circumstance in our lives, both good and bad, for our ultimate good. We have to learn to conform to this truth. He has worked our entire life to transform our minds to the mind of Christ. I'm sure we've all heard that the battlefield is in our minds. The way in which you think about your circumstance should mirror the wisdom of God. There is always a purpose in your struggle. God is actively working, orchestrating the events of your life for a purpose. It is all for your highest good, even if it doesn't always feel like it.
Beloved, we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. What this means is our perspective has to shift to the heavenly perspective. When we are facing challenges in our lives, Our thoughts about those challenges should be from that perspective. It should not be from a place of fear, dread, and anxiety. When we think like this, we are conflicting with the truth of who we truly are in our new positions in Christ. This is why the transformed mind is so powerful. A transformed mind leads to a transformed life. So, the next challenge, you face, or even if you're in a challenge right now, remember in God's sovereignty he's using the situation to transform your mind Into the mind of Christ. So, instead of lamenting, tell God, "Father help me see this from my heavenly place in you."
Prayer Father, Thank you for orchestrating every situation for our highest good. Amen
