If you are walking in God’s ways, and things get messy, cheer up—you are on the verge of something wonderful. If you are walking in rebellion against God, and things are going great, heads up—you are on the verge of disaster. Of course, God in His mercy may turn your disaster into a day of salvation. But for myself, I prefer to endure the mess when I know I am dead center in the will of God.
What is the mess you are in right now? Hold on to God and be patient. The faithful servant can have confidence that things are going to turn out. Just look at Paul’s confidence: “I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance” (1:19).” How it all turns out is what’s important.
