Rom. 8:28 NKJV And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Our God holds many names and performs many jobs. One of those jobs is a Weaver. How do we know this? Because the Bible says in Romans 8:28 that God works all things together for our good. So every day, we can believe that God is hard at work on His loom creating beautiful works of art out of our testimonies. Every day, He is using His big, strong hands to grab a hold of each episode that is happening in our lives. Then He begins to weave them together with the ones from previous days, weeks and years. He is sure to bind them together tightly because He has a planned outcome in His mind. He is careful to use every piece, so that nothing we have ever gone through will be in vain. And when He is finished, we will be finished and presented as faultless before our Master and King. But what about the bad things that we experience? Take a look at some of the beautiful artwork that is displayed in galleries. Look very closely at some of the paintings along the walls, and choose a painting that is absolutely breathe-taking. Now, would this picture be so beautiful without the dark spots? If we love God, then we can be confident that God is working everything out for our good. Nothing that we have experienced, whether past or present, will go unnoticed by the Weaver. And when God is finished, all that will be left is a stunning masterpiece. I hope you enjoyed reading the word of God in a new light. Have a Happy Wednesday! God Bless, Pastor Tommy & Sis.

Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs. |
