He Has Done All Things Well


And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. Mark 7:37


We are at that season of the year again where you are forced to take stock of your life, and all that has played out over the year. You may reflect over your goals for the year or your goals for some years past now, to see how far you have truly come in your life journey. You may also be reflecting over some particular desire of your heart, and how long you have been waiting on God to bring that desire to pass. 


As you make this reflection, you may find yourself in a place of gratitude, because you have experienced so much of God’s blessing. Some other person may find themself in the place where they are in doubt of God’s love or if God really hears and answers, because some of those pressing desires are still not met.


Regardless of what position you are, you need to just take a deep breath, and say to yourself He has done all things well. He has done all things well means that as long as you are still on this part of eternity, you still have the opportunity to see those desires come to pass. It may even be that with every passing year, it seems more difficult or impossible for those desires to come to pass, simply rest in the truth that God does all things well.


Don’t feel disappointed in yourself or in God, rather keep an attitude of gratitude, God always has a way of working things out for your good in His own way, not in the way you may have expected, and not necessarily in the way you have heard others testify about Him. Sometimes it is the testimonies we hear that were meant to encourage us, that the devil tries to use to intimidate us or shame us, never give in to that old trick of the devil. Don’t let the testimonies of others look as though God has forgotten you or His power is absent in your life. Nothing can be farther from the truth than that. That God has done all things well does not in any way mean that everything is perfect for you, but that you can see that except God has been your help, there was never a chance of coming this far, and ever making it to your desired goals.


I urge you to use this season as a time of thanksgiving, again not because things are perfect, but because you know God is faithful, and He is the only one who can really make things perfect. Also, be encouraged to use this season to celebrate with others, take the focus off yourself and your needs. If you cannot find something to thank God for in your own life, look for someone who has, and join them in thanking God. It won’t be long till we all have to gather to rejoice with you also.


Wishing you God’s love this season as always.


Merry Christmas!!!

    Thanks for the message. I am encouraged. Sometimes I wonder why some of prayers are not being answered...but when I see the ones that are answered I know God is still at work.

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...

Value Vessels

In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. (2Tim.2:20-21) Men look at the use of a vessel, but God looks at its value. Wooden and earthen vessels in a house may appear more useful than gold and silver vessels, but the gold and silver vessels are far more valuable. God’s point of view, His regard is not for use; it is for value. It is not performance that brings the glory of God, it is value. How do you bring about this value? Start by fixing your Love walk Love is the halmark of our Christian faith Love for God and people is what attracts the glory of God upon a man and makes the man valuable. In a previous article I wrote I shared my thoughts on Paul and Silas’ experienc...
