MORNINGTIME   4217 

FOR I WAS ENVIOUS AT THE foolish, when I saw the PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. Behold, these are the ungodly, WHO PROSPER IN THE WORLD; they increase in riches. For all the day long have I been plagued, and CHASTENED (by the Lord) every morning. UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN UNDERSTOOD I their end. Surely Thou didst set them in slippery places: Thou castedst them down into destruction. For, lo, they that are far from Thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from Thee. BUT IT IS GOoD FOR ME TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Thy Works. Psalm 73:3,8,12,14,17-18,27-28. Are you having a hard day? Are things about to overwhelm you? Let's go ahead and Rejoice over each and every "hard" thing in your life. Every single situation and circumstance, singly and together, separately and corporately, are exactly and perfectly fit together to draw you towards and into CHRISTLIKENESS. Yes, the Lord may USE Satan to accomplish all of His (God's) Will, but Satan can do NO MORE than only what the Lord allows him (Satan) to do TO DRAW YOU INTO CHRIST. Again, EVERYTHING about your "hard" day comes DIRECTLY from the Hand of the Lord AS HE USES WHATEVER AND WHOMEVER HE NEEDS TO BRING YOU TO, OR BACK TO, THE LORD. Whether your Life is Greatly Blessed, or extremely hard, PRAISE THE LORD AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL THINGS, FOR ALL GOoD THINGS COME FROM THE LORD. Even if you can't see ANY "good" in your life, just Trust Him by Faith that He is working all things out for your benefit, and that's ALWAYS for your Good. ALL are Called to come to Christ in Repentance unto Salvation, even though few will choose to Find It. Saved or sinner, Christ is Calling you TO Him, or He's calling you deeper INTO Him. Either Way, YOU WIN as Christ moves more and more in your Life. All who willingly bow the knee to Christ on this side will, Be Blessed.
