TODAY'S RHEMA Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who loved God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Recently, the Head of Education Advisory in England said that super-rich parents asked her to make a program for their children to work with low salaries, such as carriers, bricklayers, dishwashers, scavengers etc. The parents wished that their children could see the "real world". They wanted them to learn to survive with their own salary and not become spoiled children who only relied on their parents' wealth. For the long run, the program was made to shape them into becoming responsible for their own lives, wiser in hiring people and always to remain humble.
Let's take time to imagine if we were the children of those super-rich parents. They had a luxurious life with their parents' wealth from childhood but they had to experience how hard the life of people who were far-under their social class was in their teenage years. It was because their parents looked far ahead. They realized that this 'burden' which they gave to their children would positively impact their future than what they have to sacrifice now.
If earthly parents who are limited know exactly about this, our Heavenly Father does know more. He also disciplines us out of love. As a good Father, He always wants the best for us, His beloved children. If we are facing hard times now, remember that nothing happens without God's knowledge and they all work for your good. God has never had an evil plan for us but His plan is peace to give us a future and hope for those who love Him. Under His discipline, we will stand firm and experience true freedom in our lives. REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, God has no intention to remove His yoke from your life since THE PROPER YOKE from Him IS FOR YOUR GOOD. APPLICATIONS 1. Do you recognize the proper yoke that God allows in your life? 2. What makes you realize that God's plan is the best? 3. What can you do to be victorious over your problem? TODAY'S PRAYER "Dear God, enable me to always set my eyes on You alone and realize that the yoke You give is for my good. I believe that I have a bright future walking in Your plan. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."
