Everything's Gonna Come Out Right! – Joshua 21:45

45 Not one word failed from all the good words God spoke to the house of Israel. Everything came out right.

– Joshua 21:45

Everything's Gonna Come Out Right!

Do you believe the Word of God?  

All of it?  

I mean REALLY B-E-L-I-E-V-E it?  

Are you sure?

Many folks, who claim to be Christians, only really believe the parts of God's Word that make them feel good, or that promise prosperity and wealth.  Many take His Word out of context and manipulate it to make things seem like God is OK with their questionable desires and decisions.  But that's not what God's Word is all about.  His Word is Truth.  All of it.  Every letter, each space in between the letters, every punctuation mark, every ascender, descender, and even the spaces within the characters themselves (like the letters O, B, and D [to name a few]), are all Truth, spoken directly from the mouth of God, OUR God . . . THE God.

Well if you really do believe, wholeheartedly, and completely in God's Word, then you know, no matter what happens – good AND bad – everything is going to come out right . . . just like God planned it.  That's right, i said "AND bad."  It's the AND bad that we don't like, but bad things are essential to our very existence.  They are the things that build our character, and prove to us that we can overcome anything, and make us stronger as we rely on God's strength, and the power of His Love, and His Grace.  We become who we were designed to become by taking on Christ's example, and gracefully and confidently going through the bad, and coming out the other side with victory . . . despite the bad, AND because of the goodness of God's love for each one of us.

So as bad comes your way (and it's going to), take it on, head-on, full-on, with Christ on.  Understand that for a season, things are going to be tough, and you are going to be tested. But go into that season full of hope.  March into it with the pride and the fullness of understanding in Whom you serve.  Dive into it, head-first, with total abandon, covered with the blood of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, and show " AND bad" how "BAD" you are because of Whose banner you march under.  Your season of "AND bad" will soon end, the victory will come, AND GOOD will return once again, and EVERYTHING will come out right . . . just like God promised.

Prayer

Father thank You for the strength of Your promise.  Thank You for seeing us through the bad times.  Thank You for making everything right, every time, according to Your plan.  Forgive us for the times when our faith waivers, and especially forgive us for not always believing Your Word.  Help our Faith Lord.  Help us to Believe, in all things, and at all times.

Have a Blessed day everyone!
