God Will Make Everything Right (I)

God Will Make Everything Right (I)

‘And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.’ Romans 8:28 [NKJV]

Bible Reading: I Samuel 24

There is something about revenge, it is a worm that eats deeps. It leaves its host lost, empty and in irredeemable regret. There are many sufferings happening in the world today that would have been avoided if revenge was given to God to handle. The reality is that as human beings, except God intervenes, we can ruin things while trying to fix it because our understanding can be limited. Our good intention can end up wrongly. But when we patiently allow God to work in and through us, things are sorted at the end.

A classic example of someone that allowed God to make things right was David. King Saul hated David. King Saul was jealous of David to the point that he attempted to kill David on many occasions, but God intervened and protected David. David who would later become the king of Israel understood that God has the capacity to make everything right. David did not revenge, rather He let God avenge his enemy. In fact, there was a time when David would have killed Saul, but he did not. Our Bible reading today is the narration of this experience. King Saul took three thousand able-bodied men to pursue David in the Desert of En Gedi. At the end of their escapade, they were unsuccessful, and decided to rest. Rather than David killing king Saul and his soldiers while they were asleep, he allowed God to handle the situation.

Our memory verse reminds us that God will make everything right even if your present situation seem otherwise. Here’s God’s words: ‘And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose’ (Romans 8:28). Do not revenge because you will ruin that which you are trying to protect. If you believe God, He will make everything right in His time.

Daily Confession: Lord help me to trust you that you can make everything right and to obey you with the whole of my heart in Jesus’ name.

Intercessory Prayer: Pray for missionaries and their families that God will preserve them and continually give them boldness to speak His word.

Hymn: Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;
Nothing ‘gainst his mighty power can e’er prevail.
