How He works

 

The second week of class talks about the beauty of God's plan.  It was revealed through history on 

how God set everything into its place.  God is in control of events and situations even those that happened before and after the coming of Christ and even today's event and the events to come.

    I remember my experience in life.  I was born without knowing who my father was.   I have a mother and  yet she was not the one who takes care of me.  I knew her because she was mentioned and introduced to me by my uncle and auntie.  The saddest thing was I never felt that I have a mother.  A mother that takes care of me, loves me, provides for my needs or even someone who sends me to school because she has left me.  At that time, I felt that I was just born and after that I was given away to others.  It was so hard. In fact, I felt mad to the Lord, I felt angry to my parents, and I felt jealous when I saw kids with their parents.  I felt like I'm just a piece of trash - “no use at all”. I can't understand my life.  I'm seeking for love, seeking for answers but I can't find any.  I was like a “miner” always seeking and digging for something but everything changed.

    I was adopted by a family, a family who are believers. A God fearing family with a disciplinarian husband and a loving wife took me as their own. It was in their family that I felt being accepted and cared for. I felt being loved by them. It was in their family that I learned a lot of things especially godly things. I attended Sunday's schools. I attended church activities. And the best thing is I was able to know Christ and accepted Him as personal Savior and Lord.  But it was not an easy experience. I struggled a lot. It's not easy to accept it, and it’s not easy to understand it but because of God I was able understand why things happened that way. Why such things happened to me. Why he allowed them. Now, there’s only one thing I know for sure, He has a great plan for me.  He plans for  my good and for His glory!

  In relation to the history and series of events that happened before, it is indeed, amazing to see and know the beauty of God's plan. He allows and controls everything for His glory and purpose. Everything happens for a reason. He never lets things happen without knowing about them. He controls and guides every detail of every event. His plan is for the good of  His children. Even though some seemingly bad things happen to His children, but by faith, we know that it shall be for His praise. For indeed, history  was set and revealed at the right time. Every event in history was the event God wanted in order to fulfill His plan. It is indescribably amazing. God is so great!
