Just Hold On!

Proverbs 16:4

The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
    even the wicked for a day of disaster.

Our God has made all things, and all things were created to glorify His name.  Even the rocks will cry out! We have all been created for a purpose and a passion to glorify His name and to make disciples of the nations.   Through His providence He will see all things through to the end.  In this day, in this moment, you may feel like you have been left behind, are invisible, or have been long forgotten. Remember the words of Solomon when he reminds us that all things are worked out to their proper end.

In John Gill’s exposition he reminds us that, “Everything is appointed of God; he has foreordained whatever comes to pass; there is a purpose for everything under the heavens, and a time fixed for the execution of it.”  Dearest one, I am here to remind you today of these promises of God.  It is all in His timing, under His sovereignty and in His providence – but, this too shall end and a new day will dawn.  There is hope in your tomorrow, because we are granted this hope through the Holy Spirit as an expectation of good.  It may be dark and it may feel like the dawn will never arrive, but the Bible, our Manual for Living and Love Letter, explains that He will work all things out for good for those that love Him. (Romans 8:28)

Sometimes it can feel like evil wins and deceit reigns, but Solomon reminds us that nothing exists outside of the will of God. If Solomon tells us that there is even a day of disaster planned for the wicked, I want to urge you to see that your circumstance is not bigger than the hand of God. It certainly is not bigger than the heart of God. I urge you to try and release your trust into Him and in Him working out your circumstances to their proper end.  He sees. He knows and He is already in your tomorrow.

Let’s pray:  Thank you Lord for ordering our days and ordering our steps. Thank you that You lead us into our tomorrows.  We give you all of the situations and circumstances and believe that you will work everything out to its proper end. Thank you that You are God and I don’t have to be.
