ALWAYS FOR THE GOOD
Genesis 50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive.
A lot of things could befall a man, however when you have the Heavenly Father's attention, all works for good.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
One question that comes to every human is "How important are we?" Are we humans significant, considering our enormous population, that is, those who have lived before us, those living now and those who are yet to come. What make us or "me" as an individual significant?
We could begin with the end, for man's impact is felt after they have left the scene, what would we be remembered for after we have left, what is our legacy?
Thus we live such that we have a good legacy. Where we go after here matters for we have immeasurable amount of time after here that is incomparable to the time we have to live in this suit and this space.
Hebrew 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Thus every man does good to seek the face of the one who has the say, yes for the life to come and also the life we live now.
1 Corinthians 15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
We must remember that only one person could give the assurance and He is Christ Jesus, the Son of the Heavenly Father.
John 14:1-3
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
When that is assured, we talk of the short time we have here.
Joseph lived a hundred and ten years, we do have some that surpass that age in this time. However he did live well, he was able to do the one thing that should be regarded as an accomplishment - He had the attention of the Heavenly Father.
Men who fall into this category are few even in records of scriptures. There are of course, many of them whose names we do not know, those recorded are for our benefit:
Romans 4:23-24
And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
When we have the attention of the Father all things works for our good.
Proverbs 16:7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
So no matter how it is plotted it always falls for our favour. This is what Joseph told his brethren after their father had slept.
For the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
Psalm 37:23
The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
The scriptures also goes ahead to say that even when he stumbles he rises, why? - the hand of the Lord!
Psalms 37:23-24
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.
Glory to God. This should be the testimony of every believer.
While people are trying to please people, the believer tries to please the Heavenly Father, for He has the final say.
Mark 12:30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.
This is where we get it right, this is where we get the Heavenly Father's attention.
Glory to God.
He calls us blessed.
