As you’ve heard me say before, “Your circumstances can change in the Twinkling of an Eye”. I invite you to ponder the definition of the word “CIRCUMSTANCE” as written on www.dictionary.com:
a condition, detail, part, or attribute, with respect to time, place, manner, agent, etc., that accompanies, determines, or modifies a fact or event; a modifying or influencing factor: Do not judge his behavior without considering every circumstance.
Usually, circumstances. the existing conditions or state of affairs surrounding and affecting an agent: Circumstances permitting, we sail on Monday.
As human beings we all too often act or react according to our circumstances. Our own logic, experience and skills kick in to control our circumstances accordingly. We have learned how to function this way from birth.
Let me share some Godly truths about our circumstances:
The Sovereignty of God is GREATER than the power of discouraging circumstances. When God speaks it is a divine covenant in which we can rest. It’s a divine covenant which ACTUALLY ENABLES us to rest in the Lord for a POSITIVE and FINAL OUTCOME for those things that did not turn out the way WE think they SHOULD, the way WE think they COULD, or even the way WE PRAY. The Lord can overule your prayer anytime He wants to. You can pray one way but God sometimes moves another way. But when He does He always ends up fulfilling His promise one way or another. Maybe not the way we want, but the way His sovereign authority chooses. This is the basis for SWEET SURRENDER.
On a journey of healing and hope with you,
