Quote of the Day - 4/10

If you will leave your situation up to God, in the end you will come out much better off. You will be far ahead of where you would have been had you tried to solve matters in your own strength. God can truly bring justice in our lives.

Maybe you have been working through a situation and you have been doing the right thing for a long time. You hvae been taking the high road and forgiving somebody again and again. You keep overlooking their faults. You keep biting your tongue when they are rude to you. You have kept a good attitude even though they have mistreated you. Perhaps this have been going on month after month, maybe year after year, and now you are tempted to get discouraged. You are wondering, "Is God ever going to change this situation? Is God ever going to bring justice? Does He even care about what I am going through?"

Don't give up! Keep doing the right thing. God is building character in you, and you are passing the test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.

The Bible says, "Don't get tired of doing what's right for in due season you shall reap if you don't faint." Don't grow weary; God will bring justice into your life.

We must trust God to bring justice in His timing, not ours. Sometimes, it doesn't happen overnight. Sometimes you are going to have to love somebody who's unlovable for a long period of time. Sometimes you are going to have to do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening to you, and it may be a long time before you see any kind of change. It may require a strong will on your part, and a determination to trust despite the odds.
