Theme: Trusting God’s Plan and Knowing He’s in Control

Like our verses from the last two weeks (Jeremiah 29:11 and Isaiah 55:8), verse 28 in chapter 8 of Paul’s letter to the Romans reminds us that God is always in control…and His plans—whether we understand them or not—are good. Paul certainly had personal experience in this area. Paul was stoned (and left for dead), whipped five different times (39 lashes each time), shipwrecked, thrown in prison twice, hunted by people who wanted to kill him, beaten with rods, betrayed, and he had an affliction (“thorn” in his flesh) that God did not heal for him. I’m sure Paul didn’t enjoy being beaten and thrown in prison, but God used those events for good…to reach non-believers, to save the lost from their sin, and to demonstrate His power and glory. In other words, God was working for the good in all of these things…just like Romans 8:28 tells us He will.

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
