It’s impossible to make forward progress on a merry-go-round.
When we get off, it’s even worse. Our sense of balance swirls around us, and we can’t walk a straight line if we try. We stumble, fall down, and we require a helping hand if we want to stand.
Life without Christ is much the same. Unexpected events spin us around, our sense of direction twirls out of control, and we can no longer get back on track.
We’re lost, stumbling through life, simply trying not to fall down.
Philippians 2:13 says we’ve got a helping hand reaching our way:
“For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”
Through financial disasters, God has a plan to bring us through.
When our health fails, God offers his healing.
In fractured relationships, God is still there, pointing us to a good end.
We must remember the words we read in Phlippians: God works in us for his good pleasure. Our God who loves us never wants us to come to a bad end.
When our focus is on Jesus, our path will always lead toward him.
