The Hand of God
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
If you watched the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, you likely saw the great commercial about erasing the mistakes out of your photos. The words on the screen said, “For years, our phones have captured our memories.” Images of candid, in the moment photos begin to roll and with each photo, the problem in the background becomes more apparent. Then the words, “Now, it’s time to fix them.” I can’t stop thinking about this commercial and my all-time favorite verse Romans 8:28 ‘And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’ Each time we fall short, the enemy tries to convince us that we’re in trouble but God comes along and says this is where He takes over.
You see if we do what the commercial is suggesting and erase the mistakes in life, then we are also removing the hand of God. When we erase that mistake, you also erase God’s mercy that covered you in every step of that mistake. If you erase that problem, you also erase God’s provision through that problem, and the greater purpose of it today.
When you have the Holy Spirit inside, He redirects you and helps you determine/decide the right things to do – not to make mistakes. May you be reminded this morning that the hand of God is holding you. He has sent His angels to protect and guide you.
If you erase that ginormous goof-up, you also erase God’s grace that never gave up on you once. If you erase the hurt, you also erase the healing.
Don’t delete the background. It’s building your story.
The hand of God is holding you.
The hand of God is strengthening you.
God has sent His angels to surround you.
Prayer for today: Thank you, God for never letting me go. Amen
