For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. God works everything for our good, but “our good” is not necessarily our wealth or success or career glory.Īnd we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. God is more concerned with who we are than with what we do It’s like he stops us in our tracks and says, “I love you, but are you going to let me be in charge now?” 5. Sometimes God purposely gives us a wake-up call like this to remind us that we’re not gods. He doesn’t just nod and approve of whatever we think we should do. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. When life seemed most out of control, God was fully in charge. In my case, I can look back now and thank God he didn’t let me head in the direction I wanted to - it would have been a disaster! But at the time, I just had to trust Him that he knew what he was doing. When everything seems out of control, God’s still in control. all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. God knows the future, and he’s in control of everything He knows what you’re best at, even if you’re still struggling to work that out. If God knows all this about you, then he also knows your gifts. You discern my going out and my lying down you are familiar with all my ways.īefore a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You know when I sit and when I rise you perceive my thoughts from afar. You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. God knows you better than you know yourself His love is not dependent on any exam mark. No matter what happens, God doesn’t love you any less. He loves you so much that Jesus came to give up his life for you. You might not be feeling very loved right now, but God loves you more than you know. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1) It can feel like you’re facing a really uncertain future, but you’re not alone, and you’re not lost. If you’re dealing with the same grief I had to deal with, don’t panic. In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Have I been expecting God to automatically approve my ideas, rather than letting Him be in charge?.Am I trusting in God, or am I really trying to control him by planning out my own future?.How much of my self-esteem depends on my academic results?.How much am I thinking ' Good marks = good person?'.Here are some questions I had to deal with: well, the next moment everything crashed down around me. One minute I had my world all planned out, and the next. I remember the shock of 'bad' exam results. what if I don’t get to do what I really, really wanted to do? Will they be enough to get into my university course?.You keep wondering about a whole bunch of questions: Do you get nervous waiting for your exam results? Maybe you can’t eat because your stomach is churning so much.
