It is just as important that we remember the Lord in our life when things are going well. Everyone runs to Him when tragedy strikes or something bad is happening but where are you when all is well in your world? It is not right to Him. He wants a committed relationship with us, not a casual fling. I told my husband no one gives God the glory or "credit" when their lives are going well yet He is the first one that gets the blame when something bad happens. We hear the same thing... "how could God allow this to happen?"...."why did God let this happen to me?". He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrew 13:8 God loves you and he may have allowed an event to take place because is trying to grab your attention. He will do this. He does it out of pure love. He wants to bless you in abundance in all areas of your life and when you deny Him or forsake Him, He is devastated. He deserves ALL of you, not just some of you. He is a loving Father who will discipline us when needed. After all weren't we punished growing up when we were not behaving properly? It is the same thing with God. He will do whatever it takes to draw you closer to Him. Instead of becoming angry at Him, stop and see the love He has for you and think of how you were parented and maybe it will help you understand Him better. I shared my story of how I was given a pay cut at work and it really was hard for me but God revealed to me later He allowed it to happen in order to get my attention and at the time, I missed it. Just take some time and exam your life with Him and stay on course no matter how bumpy the road. How blessed we will be and how pleased He will be. Amen!
Revelations 3:19-20
