Scripture:
Romans 8: 28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Observation / Application:
I let my flesh and sins define who I am. That limits me to do and open myself to God's work and spirit to render in me. My mental state of mind and sins I commit condemns me and defines why and how I should live forth. But as I read Romans, I realize the only way to live is through God's law. When Jesus came to this earth and nailed to the cross he took our sins with him, that we may be reborn in Spirit of God. As children of God, because we are children of God we are no longer committed to our flesh of sins that defines us.
God had come with permanent solution to save us versus temporary solution. It's human nature where we fail many time in a day to lead and live the expectation of God's law, we battle the ultimate battle of trying to continue on with the effort to live up to his law. God knows that and he understand the struggle and he want us to come to him with our struggle versus trying to control the situation ourselves. When I try take control and self absorb my current conditions I seem to get overwhelmed and nothing happens to get resolve. The obstacles become bigger and out of control. Basically I start to lose sight of God and his purpose, because I get so focus on my own problems and how to resolve it. But Romans 8 clearly says that God knew what he was doing from the beginning as he planned and shaped our live the way it is. It is matter of accepting and allowing God's law and plan to follow through.
As times pass, I am exhausted from fighting and bickering, I am ready to let God lead and God's plan take in place. I share that with my parents with their struggle with her siblings and I let God take control and plan for the future of my cousin for her doings. She may not know the circumstantial pains and suffering she has brought, as she starts her family, I know God will dwell a life lesson in her. Then she will recognize her past actions. God will teach, you cannot argue that you live in God's law because you attend church weekly and pray, if my spirit is elsewhere and its the flesh walking dead to these than we are missing the whole purpose.
I need to let God's spirit absorb within me for God's Spirit has been with me all along. I need to let it sink into me, and lose the control and power of control, as the flesh takes on control, I will block the spirit to work in me. Everything and all things that happen around me and my family, it was God's plan after-all the after math might be a long journey but God is with us all along, and he will show the goods. He has planned this from beginning to teach my family and myself his purpose for us. We need to pray out to him, and prayer not from our pain and resentment, but from our heart for my personal gain but for his purpose and will to be done and shine through.
