God's Will in our Circumstances


God's will for your life is far less concerned with your circumstances and far more with your heart.Every circumstance is providentially employed to conform our inner man more and more into all that Christ is, that we might progressively lose our life in order to find it in Him. And He knows just what we need to accomplish this and is far more engaged in the work than we realize. Because He loves us and wants us near Him.

God converts our soul to Christ so that, “in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:7) So His highest aim for us is that Christ would become as indispensably valuable as He is and we would become trophies of His grace. Every success you might achieve in this world is nothing in comparison to the eternal weight of a life lived in pursuit of Christ, which triumphs in every circumstance.

Godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Tim. 6:6)
