Hi overcomer,
Past. Present. Future.
Spirit. Soul. Body.
Remember, as we step to close this year... this one life changing truth from the author of the Greatest Book ever written.
And don't forget...
Jesus writes other books too.
Including this cracker.
The Book of your life
And He is not the author of confusion but peace.
(1 Corinthians 14:33)
So be at peace saint. With yourself. With Him.
With every page written by Him about you. In the book of your life. And so also at peace with every circumstance and situation surrounding you.
Trust.
Yup.
Be at peace in all.
And you can,
Knowing...
"All things are yours."
1 Corinthians 3:21 RSV
Or maybe you like to say it like this (I do :) ...
"All things are for you."*
Or,
“For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:15
And here's the core of what it means...
"His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness... through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue."
2 Peter 1:3 KJ21
So.
May the LORD turn every evil you suffered this year around for your good. And as you turn your heart to Him and devote it to overcome evil by doing good in the days ahead of us (Romans 12:21)...
Overthrow all your sorrows and sadnesses,
Into hymns and praises...
"When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen,
The Lord hath done great things for them."
Psalm 126:1-2 KJV
All,
To His glory.
For He lives forever.
Be at peace saint and finish this year knowing...
He made all things.
And so...
ALL THINGS are yours.
2024 is going to be a big year for you.
So know for certain overcomer...
God is working in you both to will and do of His good pleasure.
(Philippians 2:13)
Bless you.
Dave
PS
Well who knew!
"All things are yours."

* "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28 RSV
