What this episode covers

Luke 7:30 (NKJV) But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.   Have you ever noticed that when tragedy strikes, God is usually the first One blamed? When calamity befalls a person, often the cry is, “Why did God allow this to happen?” As Christians, we know that God is not out to punish us or exact revenge; in fact, His Word assures of quite the opposite. However, in moments of distress and despair, when a person’s mind is clouded by fearfulness and grief, the will of God often comes into question.   God’s will, however, is not a mystery. His will is His Word, and in His Word, He makes it clear that His desire is not for anyone to suffer or perish. Instead, He wants everyone to experience the abundance of blessings He has provided through Christ. However, it’s possible to reject the will of God. He does not force His will on anyone because His love demands your free will. So, when you look into the Word of God and see His glorious will for your life, understand that it is not automatic. You must respond in faith by acting on what you believe. He loves you enough to give you a choice. Love Him enough to say “Yes!”   PROPHETIC DECLARATION My eyes are fixed on God. My future is filled with hope. I rise no matter what, and no one will make me fall!    FURTHER STUDY 2 Peter 3:9   DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THE GOODNEWS DAILY DEVOTIONAL AT: www.goodnewsworld.com/goodnewsdaily
