God Sees Everything
And we know that all things work together
for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.
- Romans 8:28 -
It may take us some time to realize.
We may have to go through many hardships before we learn this truth.
But eventually we will know that God is in control of our lives.
God is sovereign. He sees and knows all things. He is all powerful. Nothing escapes His attention.
Nothing is hidden from Him.
It is a promise for those who love God.
God promises to turn everything to good. God will bring the best out of every good or bad situation.
All things work together for good. Whether good or bad, sad or happy, great or small, they are there for our good.
Some people see it right away.
Some people have trouble realizing it.
For those who love God and seek to do His will, this promise gives them the confidence and encourages them to persevere and keep the faith.
God is in control. Who can be against Him? Whom shall I fear?
God calls His people to faith in His own time, according to His purpose.
God’s eternal plan will be completed. His plan for His people can never be stopped.
All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Beware Lest We Fall
Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. — 1 Corinthians 10:12
Paul drew a somber lesson from Old Testament history.
The people Moses led from slavery in Egypt toward freedom in the Promised Land kept turning their backs on God who had delivered them.
Idolatry, immorality, and grumbling were among the things that brought them down.
Paul pointed to their collapse as an example to us.
Let us beware lest we fall from our "steadfastness" in faith and practice.

No One Knows
Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,
but My Father only. - Matthew 24:36 -
but My Father only. - Matthew 24:36 -
God the Father has kept us from knowing the actual time of Christ’s return.
But this helps keep us motivated in Christian service and spiritual growth all the time.
******
Let us be assured, Christ’s personal return will take place.
******
As we wait for that day, let us live our lives with holy conduct and godliness.
Let us be found waiting and watching for Christ’s return every day.

When Trouble Comes
I will not leave you nor forsake you.
- Joshua 1:5 -
The nation of Israel was in big trouble.
But the Lord promised the nation’s new leader: “I will not leave you nor forsake you” (Josh. 1:5).
Joshua was taking over leadership of the Israelites after Moses’ death, just before they were to enter the Promised Land.
Trouble was on the horizon with numerous military campaigns against their enemies.
Without God’s presence, they couldn’t begin to acquire the land.
God graciously gave Joshua the reminder, so that he could be courageous because of His presence.
God promises the same to His children today (Heb. 13:5-6).
The Lord is always with us, even when we’re in much trouble.
When troubles call on us, call on God.

Live And Walk In Faith
"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."
- Galatians 5:25 -
For Christians, there are two important things in life: the life of faith and the walk of faith.
And they must be cultivated together
A truly holy life must have its root in a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
And a true faith must be attended by true godliness.
There are some who cultivate faith and forget about holiness. They are good in orthodoxy, but do not live a godly life.
There are others who chase after holiness of life, but they deny the faith, like the Pharisees of old.
Like building a house, we must have faith as our foundation, and holiness of life as our superstructure.
Let us have our faith and our life put together.
Let us live and walk in faith.
