<\/a>Be the first to like.<\/span><\/p>\nYesterday we began fasting from the thought, \u201cIt\u2019s not fair. God\u2019s not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was much more that I wanted to give you to empower you over this wrong way of thinking, so I continue today.<\/p>\n
Our concept of God shapes how we view ourselves, our life, and those around us. A wrong concept of God also shapes our expectations. If we believe He is weak, then we will not expect His power in our lives. If we believe He is distant and uncaring, then we will not expect His intervention in our time of need.<\/p>\n
When you discover what He is really like, you become invincible. Daniel 11:32 declares, \u201cThose who KNOW their God shall be strong and do exploits.\u201d When you see Him for who He is, you realize there is nothing He wouldn\u2019t do for you. You realize that when life isn\u2019t fair, God is still good, and He knows how to make up for whatever wrong has been done by you or against you.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s continue to obliterate the thought that says \u201cit\u2019s not fair.\u201d And let\u2019s believe in a God who knows how to RIGHT every WRONG!<\/p>\n
1. Believe in the God of restoration. Joel 2:23-25 says, \u201cI will restore to you the years that have been eaten.\u201d No matter how unfair life has been to you, God is in the restoration business. He will make up to you for lost time, if you believe this promise. Get this in your thinking: He will restore YEARS!<\/p>\n
2. Meditate on Psalm 23:6 which says, \u201cSurely goodness and mercy to FOLLOW you all the days of your life. Think on this word: SURELY. It leaves no doubt; no question. IT WILL HAPPEN.<\/p>\n
3. See things through the eyes of eternity. (Colossians 3:1-4) In Luke 21:1-4, the rich Pharisees seemingly gave more money; but from God\u2019s point of view, the widow gave more than all of them, because she gave all she had to live on. She saw eternity. She is being rewarded in heaven. The poem goes: \u201cOnly one life will soon be past\u2014only what\u2019s done for Christ will last.\u201d Live with eternal purpose. Measure your choices by how they will affect eternity, and how important they are to heaven. The rest of the poem goes: \u201cAnd when I\u2019m dying, how happy I\u2019ll be, if the lamp of my life has burned out FOR THEE.\u201d<\/p>\n
4. Realize misfortune and disappointment don\u2019t have control over you. It\u2019s how you respond to these things that determine the outcome of your life\u2014both here on earth and in eternity.<\/p>\n
5. FOCUS on the good God has done in your life. (Psalm 103:1-5) RECOGNIZE what you\u2019ve been given is a gift to serve others with. 1 Peter 4:10. Use what God has done in your life to bring others to a higher place in God.<\/p>\n
6. Promotion comes from above. (Psalm 75:7) No matter how far down life has tried to put you; no matter how far down the devil has tried to push you, God is the God of promotion. He will raise you up, if you trust Him. He will exalt you, as you humble yourself. It\u2019s pride\u2014to accept defeat. Humility accepts what God says. (James 1:21) Expect to be raised up above the unfair treatment this life brings.<\/p>\n
THINK IT & SAY IT:<\/p>\n
I believe in the God of restoration. He will restore to me all the years that have been destroyed in my life, by the devil, by how I\u2019ve been treated, and by my bad decisions. I expect goodness and mercy to follow me ALL the days of my life. It will SURELY happen. I choose to live with eternal purpose. What I do for Jesus is what will echo in eternity–that\u2019s how I choose to live. Whatever has happened to me will not control my life. The outcome of my life is determined by the choices I make\u2014and my choices will line up with God\u2019s Word. I expect promotion to come to my life, because I humble myself and receive what God says about me. No matter what this life tries to bring me, God will raise me up above it. He is more than fair. He is more than enough. And when life\u2019s not fair, God more than makes up for it in my life, in Jesus\u2019 name.<\/p>\n
