God Is Always At Work for the Good of Everyone Who Loves Him
It's our last week of Way Out West! That means it's MEMORY VERSE WEEK! Everything we've taught kids over the last 8 weeks through the life of Moses works together to illustrate one big, unified point:
We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves Him. They are the ones God has chosen for His purpose.
Romans 8:28
We've all probably had moments or circumstances in our life when we've thought, "God I know you're working but I just don't see it; I just don't understand." It's in those moments that I'm reminded: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts
Kathy is a volunteer that has served in KidSpring for the past 5 years. I've gotten to see the Lord work in her life in so many ways! Several years ago she was held up at gunpoint when a man tried to rob her, and she was shot at twice. Obviously, this was an extremely traumatic event. It's not something that we would naturally be grateful for. But it was through these circumstances, that she was able to meet with a Christian counselor and realize that she had some unforgiveness she'd been carrying around. She was able to work through that and forgive and get to really experience what it's like to live in true freedom. If you ever get a chance to talk to her about it, she'll tell you that she's so thankful for being robbed. That the Lord used those circumstances to get her attention, strengthen her, and help her to see that His plans are always working for her good!
Reflect
- Is there an unexpected circumstance in your life that you can look back on and see how the Lord used it for your good?
- Are you going through something right now where you can't see how the Lord can use it for your good? Ask Him to give you His perspective. Talk to your team about it & have them pray for you!
