Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose.
Catechism Question- "What is the chief (purpose)end of man?" Ans: To Glorify God in all our thoughts and all our actions.
Q: Are you called by God?
Note: the call of God is when he saves us.
One is to glorify him, where we are and with what we are doing.
example of Gods call : Rahab Joshua 2;1-14 He puts us in our situations.
Q. What situation has God put you in?
Two is to share him with others so that others might be saved.
Example: Esther 4:14a " And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this." (See also Esther 8)
Note: When we pray a prayer lik Betty Stams and surrender our whole life to God again instead of just one piece that we think God wants its hard because we recognize that means now in our present situation, not when I get into a really significant trial.
God commanded us in, I Peter 5:7 "Cast all you cares upon the Lord for h care for you"
Also the Psalmist. in Psalm 73:26 Encourages us in what we have now and in the future. My flesh and my heart fail, but, God is my strength (Rock note in my Bible, Hebrewword) of my heart and my portion forever"
(End prayer)
