I believe God uses situations to teach people. He teaches those directly involved but he also uses those situations to teach others. I want to learn what He has for me as quickly as He wants me to so that I can get through the battle. I do not want to be the one others are stumbling over. I am so thankful that we have a God that knows what He is doing because I don’t feel like I know what I am doing most of the time. He gives us guidance and fills in where we lack. He knows the right way to get it done. He works all things to good for those that love Him and are called to His purpose.
God uses all to teach us. He uses our experiences. He uses our trials. He using our loved ones. He uses our children. We always thing we are there to teach them. Many times, they are in our loves for God to use to teach us. We don’t always want to be the ones to be taught so we don’t always see this clearly because we as parent think we already know. Well open your eyes the next time your child is going through something and ask God what He is trying to teach you. You may be surprised.
He knows what it will take to teach us. He allows us to go through some tough stuff because He knows what it will take to get our attention and to move us in the direction He is trying to take us.
He is a multitasker. He can accomplish many things through one event. He can work in several lives at one time. If we could see what He was up to when we are going through a trial, we would be rejoicing like His word tell us to. Rejoice in the Lord always.
