A Dilemma — See the Good

by Steve Rensner on August 12, 2021

Narrative: A nervous bride was preparing for her upcoming wedding. Only one week away. So much to do getting ready for her outdoor wedding and reception.

Narrative: A farmer continues to look to the sky hoping for rain clouds to form. It has been weeks since the last measurable rain fall.

Prayers: The bride is praying for a beautiful summer day while the farmer is praying for rain.

Whether it rains or shines God has Called us to See the Good. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. [Romans 8:28] The key component in this passage is “according to His purpose.” God knows His plans and purpose for us as His Called and redeemed children. We may not understand nor comprehend the journey that is being walked at this moment, but through faith we know that God’s purpose is for our good here on earth and eternally in Heaven with Him.

Please finish the narrative and prayer petitions above. Did it rain on the farmer’s fields or did the sun shine brilliantly on the wedding celebration? No matter what we encounter each day, we trust in the Word of God. As we begin another school year we seek to See the Good in each and every situation. We look in faith to the Lord’s leading and direction.
