Title : My Good, Your Good!

-

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28"
Devotion : The focus of God is that all things work together for the good of His children. Among the children of God are those who love Him; this is seen in their obedience and submission to God. All the children of God are called according to His purpose but there are those who are carrying out His purpose and there are those who are not.
 If you carry out his purpose know that his thoughts are of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 affirms God’s intentional goodness toward His children.
 Those who are carrying out the purpose of God are those who love Him. Those who love God will have all things working together for their good. All things include the trees, sun, sea, ground, birds, temptation, suffering, riches, health, career, angels, etc. 
  Temptation works for your good when you endure obediently. The Bible says in James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”  
  One of the things that work for our good is the sun, that is why the Bible says in Psalm 84:11 that “For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” A promise that God doesn’t hold back good from those who love Him. Do you love God ie obey His commandments.
  When you suffer, know that it is for your good, to bring the best out of you. In  2 Cor. 4:17  the Bible says “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”  therefore know even suffering is working toward a greater good for you. This is illustrated by the Joseph story in Genesis 50:20  which says “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good...” This reminds us that God can turn even evil intentions into good outcomes.
  Therefore, if you are a Christian and you know you love God, whatever you are going through don't complain because they are working together for your good. Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
