Devotional 8-7-11

"In one way or another, God makes sure that we all expeience what it means to be outside so that he can personally open the door and welcome us back in"
Romans 11:30
All experience what it means to be outside. It is a part of Gods plan. It is not easy, it is not fun. God makes sure that we all experience it.We may have felt the hurt of being excluded from a group or we may know the hurt of having doors closed in our face. We don't always see the whole picture. What we do need to remember is that God loves us, he wants the best for us, and he does have wonderful gifts for us. Sometimes it is necessary to move through a situation to know that God has been in control. It is only as we look back that we can know that God was in control.
Perhaps there was a job or an assignment that we really wanted, there were certain people we wanted in our life. God has always known which doors should be opened. God has a plan for the life of each of us. GOD KNOWS.

It is for each of us to put our trust in God and have the faith to believe that with God's love for each of us and with our trust in him that all will be according to Gods plan.

Let us be reminded to put each problem in Gods hands, let us ask for Gods will as we try to work through our problems. Then let us be joyful as we praise God and thank him for being with us as we deal with being outside. God makes sure that we all experience what it means to be outside so he can let us back in.
