People in our Life

 

People in our Life

What a glorious time to rejoice! Think of all your friends and family. Think of all the acquaintances you make daily. Think of the people who have come into your life that irritated you to no end. Those people are the ones we say we can do without, but obviously, God didn’t think so. Everyone who comes into our life, whether it be for a minute or a lifetime, is part of us. We were all created by the same hands. They are there for a purpose.

When the Israelites rebelled against God with their idolatry, God gave them over to Egypt and Ethiopia. God used them to discipline the Israelites. When His people turned back to God, He then disciplined Egypt and Ethiopia.

Is there someone in your life today that God may be using to discipline you? Think about it, there may be a lesson to be learned by the person you are having hard dealings with. Ask God for clarity so you can learn this lesson. Turn to Him and He will soon discipline the person who is bothering you. God tells us, “Though we walk through deep waters and through the fire, He will never leave us or forsake us.” Isaiah 43:2 paraphrased. I praise God for all the people who come into my life, both to bless me and discipline me because through God I will become stronger because of them. Being more Christ-like is what we strive for each day.
