About letting God be displayed…
John 9:1 As he went along, he saw a man
blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man
or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 "Neither this man nor his
parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of
God might be displayed in his life. (NIV)
As humans, we are often
blind to many circumstances and events. We are often blind to the reasons God
works in the way He does. We are often blind to how God works in our life.
Trouble in our life may come to us because Satan attacks us. However, God is
ever ready to turn around every trouble to show us His love, care, and
compassion. When bad things happen to us because we make mistakes we pay a
penalty. When paying a penalty, even a painful penalty, can be a time to let God be
displayed in our life. When bad things happen to us for reasons we do not
understand, these events can be a time when we can show others how much we love
God. Each of us has the power to advance our life forward. God does not will we
should give up our relationship with Him. God does not will we should disregard
His wisdom.
Satan's purpose in bringing
trouble into your life is to take you down. God's will in your life is for you
to use your trouble to build yourself and others up. The purpose or will of God
is always in opposition to the purpose or will of Satan.
