Matthew 5:45
“He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on he righteous and the unrighteous.”
One of the things people often wonder or say is “Why is this happening to me, I am a good person.” Or so and so “is such a good person why is God allowing this to happen to them.” In general we don’t know the plan that God has for someone elses life. We have learned that for our life what is meant by the enemy to harm us, we can turn that around and use it for God’s glory.
We must also remember that the appearance of evil is undeveloped good. Everyone has even the slightest of spark of God’s goodness even if they appear to be evil or unrighteous on the inside of them. Thus, the favor of God normally does not come from everything going perfect for those who are good and acting rightly. No, there will be seasons of storms and challenges. The favor comes from praising God in the storms. Asking the Spirit to Guide us through it. Reminding us to follow Jesus and do what he would do.
Someone who has not ignited the Spirit of God in them might still have some good things happen. The forces of evil do not have to work hard to lure them in. But they are still a child of God. You shining your LIGHT of LOVE, FAITH, and PEACE through any test and challenge may be the best way to reveal God to someone who is unbelieving.
LORD THANK YOU FOR THE SUN AND THE RAIN, AND TODAY AND EACH DAY, I CHOOSE TO BE A LIVING EXAMPLE OF CHRIST ALIVE WITHIN ME!
