ALL WILL WORK FOR YOUR GOOD
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the around and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. John 12:24
One of the powerful principles of the Kingdom of God is that we must be willing to lose what we have in order to receive it back in several fold. If we want to reap we must sow. If we want to receive we must give. However, this is something we all find it difficult to do. We have the tendency to keep what we have. We all suffer from the fear of loss.
In His wisdom, God sometimes causes us to lose things we value against our wish so that we will receive them back better than we lost them. Abraham had to let go of Isaac in order to receive him back as one from the dead.
If you had been the father of Joseph, surely like all parents, you would have grieved for years as Jacob did. You would have easily question God and said, “God, what are you doing? And why me?” But if God had not allowed this to happen, Joseph never would have been put into that position of influence that enabled him to save the country and his own family. Jacob lost Joseph as a boy, but received him back a prince and a deliverer.
If you had been Mary, the mother of Jesus, you would have had a nervous breakdown watching your own son hang on the cross. But if Jesus had not died on that cross and taken our sins upon himself, we would not have been saved from our sins.
Son don't hesitate to give what you have to God. You will receive it back hundredfold.
Prayer: Father, I thank you that all things will work out for my good in Christ.
