The fortuitous hand of God!

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13

The Word from God for today is “fortuitous” which means unpredictable or unexpected. 

Jesus is a fortuitous God. He acts in ways which defy human logic. He is unpredictable because He wants you to keep your eyes on Him and walk by faith believing in His promises.

At times, Jesus will take you to the Mount of Transfiguration and you will see the glory of God. And the next day He may seem aloof. 

Jesus will perform a miracle in your life and then take you on a long trip through the desert.

Jesus wants you to be oblivious to the things of the world and look to Him for your every need. 

When tempted by Satan, Jesus responded “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.” Jesus wants to be your nourishment for life. Jesus is a fountain of Living Water and the source for your every need. 

It is very easy to become complacent and find your security in the things of the world. You can overcome this with prayer, reading the Word, and yielding to the Holy Spirit. 

God brings adversities into our lives to teach us the importance of faith and trusting God when life seems impossible. Remember, God is at work in your life for His good pleasure.

God rarely lets you look very far into the future. He wants your security to be in Him living one day at a time.

The challenge for a believer is to commit each day to God and pray for His wisdom and guidance. It is also important to listen for the voice of God and respond with obedience to His directions for your life.

The journey with God is like a roller coaster ride. You can’t see where you’re going but Jesus is alive and the reality of your life. 

This is the perfect place to be with God!
