Attribute Challenge Day 22: Elevator

Hello everyone,

 

I pray all is well. Normally I post for the attribute challenge at www.rsquaredcomicz.com, but WordPress is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Today's attribute is God and Jesus as elevators...

 

One of things I've been noticing more and more about my Christian walk is that things always work out for the better when I put God at the forefront. Sometimes, however, what "better" means to me is different than what it means to God. As a result, there are times when I feel like things didn't work out, when in actuality they did. I just had to look at the situation through God's lens, not my own. God's goal for me is clear: to use every experience I have to elevate me to become a better version of myself. In particular, to become the version of myself He calls me to be. Another way to put it is that as long as I acknowledge God's Lordship over my life, the times that I fall are still making me better, because I am falling upward.

 

Today's scripture comes from Romans 8:28, where Paul sums up this same notion:

 

"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."

 

Until tomorrow, stay blessed and encouraged!
