The LORD understands

“I heard this, but I couldn’t understand what it meant; so I asked, LORD, what will be the outcome of all this?”

Daniel 12:8 CJB

Many things happen in life poverty, serious health issues and deaths, to name a few things. Life: can have obstacles and serious changes that seem to come out of nowhere and we often ask “LORD” what does this mean?

“Dear friends, don’t regard as strange the fiery ordeal occurring among you to test you, as if something extraordinary were happening to you.”

1 Peter 4:12 CJB

Things can and do happen to us that throw us off guard or side swipe us, but we shouldn’t be discouraged or shaken! Why? Because the LORD has us and it will work out even if we don’t see it yet!

“Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for good of those who love God and are called in accordance with His purpose.”

Romans 8:28 CJB

Know this if you love God, then you are called to His purposes and everything is going to be all right! Have a blessed day seeking Him for understanding.

Shabbat Shalom!

Be Thankful
