God is Sovereign! That is something that i need to keep reminding myself time and time again...
YF camp has made me more conscious that the things that are happening in my life are not because God has forgotten about me and overlooked me, but that everything is within his grand scheme of things! many times, they are difficult to accept because they just do not fit within MY plan for your life, but He is teaching me that His ways are higher than my ways.
to think that God has purposely placed each and every person or circumstance in your life at that specific time and place, really blows my mind! it makes me really really curious as to what He has in store for me (:
I was also reminded in the story of Joseph that God can turn seemingly terrible situations into exceedingly great ones! Joseph would have never imagined that he would save many other nations through his hardships, but God turned what was meant for evil into something so good...
so im trying to form a new habit: thinking about what is the purpose in {insert situation here}
. I think that would help me to be more dependent on God when i try to understand his purposes.
so why did God put these people in my life? why did God let me hear/ see those things? why didn't God just spare me from this altogether?
the words of the song comfort me:
O rejoice in the Lord,
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold
and suddenly everything is okay :`)
