“God is good all the time! And all the time God is good!”
This is a phrase I often find myself quoting with friends from the God’s Not Dead movie series. It has carried me through many hard times, wondering what God is doing, where He is moving, and how He is working.
God is active, working through each new chapter of our lives. He has an incredible plan that works to display the grandeur of His glory. In His great plan, there is a time for everything.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; English Standard Version; BibleGateway
After much prayer, it has become clear that God wants my attention elsewhere. Although I love the notion of reaching out to you to encourage you through Grace Alone, God has put it on my heart to build relationships with people around me to share the good news of the gospel message that we know to be true.
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:14-15; English Standard Version; BibleGateway
I pray that this last Grace Alone message finds you and your family in the grace of the One who loves us more than ever expressible. May you continue to walk in the plans He has established for you (Ephesians 2:8-10) and find His peace (Philippians 4:4-7) in the life He has set before you.
