I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

"Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem. Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: I am planning disaster against you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.' " Jeremiah 18:11 NLT
As a follow up to yesterday’s devotional, God’s sometimes allows His plans to change during the course of our life, but His end goal for our life will be accomplished. Throughout the course of our life, however, God is in control. When God told the Israelites that He was planning disaster against them, that wasn’t His ultimate end plan for His people, but rather something God was allowing so that He could work towards His end goal.
If you are in a difficult situation right now, God has allowed it. Sin in your life may have welcomed God’s discipline, trying to get you back on the right course for your life. Your situation may simply be as a result of living in a fallen world. You may have done nothing wrong, but God may be strengthening your faith through the trial, but whatever the reason God allowed it, God is going to sovereignly work everything for good in your life through the trial. God is going to use this time for His glory and to accomplish His end goal for your life.
The best you and I can do when going through the difficult times is to cling closer and stronger to God during the hard times. In the end, God is going to win, and those who cling to Him will also prove victorious.
