I am overwhelmed with the kind words from so many friends
following my medical event (I still don’t think it was a heart attack). Many have said that they were so sorry for
me. But did you realize that the Lord
was not sorry for my problems?! Hey, everything
that happens in my life is under the control of my heavenly Father. God uses good and bad things to teach me and
to accomplish His ultimate purpose for me.
For the Lord, there are no bad things and good things. He uses them all! Paul said in Romans 5:3-5, “… but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience,
experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed …” (And just a reminder: never pray for patience
because the dear Lord will give you tribulation to teach you patience.) But what a wonderful chain of events that
follow tribulation! Hey, let the Lord
direct your life. Don’t wallow in pity
with hard times. Rest in the knowledge
that God is using every event in your life for your good. Yes, He is!
