“God, in His providence, IS working in your life. Do you believe it?!”

These were some words a professor of mine spoke today. I’m still in wonder at the fact that I’m actually here.  I left class today and said to my friend Emillie, “this is our “class”!” We get to sit under Biblical teaching and learn from men of faith who have and are going before us in this journey.  This class, in particular, is my favorite.  Our professor is passionate about counseling and shepherding the people of God. Like today, I walk away from almost every class with much to think about…

Now lets go back to the top.  I know they were simple words. I know God is working in your life and I know He is working in my life. I mean, I even know God is working in this whole world. Duh right?! Then, those piercing few words that the Lord has been “gently” pounding me with… Do you believe it?

There are so many behaviors of mine and areas of my life that do not honestly reflect that I believe God, in His providence, IS working in my life.  I want to. But then I don’t.

It’s a hard fight, this life.  I’m thankful for a King who has already fought the fight for us. In His providence and by His grace, He has made Himself known to us. I’m learning to believe… and the Lord is gracious and so very patient with my unbelieving heart. He IS working for His glory and for our good.  That’s our King.

I thought of this today as I left my class.

God IS working.

do you believe it?
