Glorious Sabbath Day People of God:
Planning is very important in our life's journey. But, when called by God, our plans take a backseat. Therefore, the plan which is indeed paramount, is God's, which is governed by His perfect will and timing.
For those who are chosen, suffering is actually part of the plan. While God does not take pleasure in the act of unjust suffering itself, He uses the displacement of His servants to advance His kingdom, providing grace to endure. Despite the hardship, believers are assured that God is faithful and will not forget our work, especially when we suffer.
GOD'S FAVOR
1 Peter 2 (CSB)
¹⁹For it brings favor if, because of a consciousness of God, someone endures grief from suffering unjustly. ²⁰For what credit is there if when you do wrong and are beaten, you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer, if you endure it, this brings favor with God. ²¹For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.
To do what is good is to answer our call to assignment according to God's stipulations; neither bending to man's will, nor our own, even when suffer because of it.
Galatians 1:10 (NLT)
Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Even of God's daughters (His cities), that proclaim providential placement on Holy ground, endurance of suffering is required. O' daughter (city) of thy Father, judge not the servant's suffering as evil; lest ye be so judged.
What amazing parenting from the fosterer of every perfect plan.
