God is working

^17 Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” (John 5:17)

 

God is always at work… sometimes it is hard to see, sometimes it is hard to believe, and sometimes we know it.  Our problem is understanding that even when we don’t see it, we have to know that He is.  Think of it as a “tag team” match, God, His Son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit are always working, even when we don’t know it.  Through the good, bad, and ugly of times God is up to and doing something.  He is orchestrating behind the scenes.  He is working things out for His glory and your life.

 

In the frustrations of life, we need this reassurance.  There is so much bad that happens, so much negativity, that God wants us to have Hope.  Hope that He is doing something, Hope that He will use what is going on in your life, Hope for a better tomorrow, Hope for the future, Hope that there is something bigger and better going on than what you and I can see.  Hope that gets us up in the morning, Hope that helps us to get to sleep at night, and Hope that gives us purpose.

 

God is always at work, yes He is.  In me, in you, and around us.  When it seems like there is nothing going on, there is.  He is.
