How Do You Want Your Eggs?

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 NKJV

You've probably read on the Internet the story of the cake. Want a cup of flour? How about some baking powder? Raw eggs? A swig of oil? No, of course not, but if we put the ingredients together, then add a little of this, a little of that, and add heat, the cake is going to be good.

You'll notice our promise for today reads "all" things, not each thing individually. Not everything that comes our way feels like it brings good into our lives. However, 1st Thessalonians 5:18 tells us, Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. We can be thankful in ALL circumstances because that particular circumstance might be the baking powder. Or maybe it's the raw eggs. Whatever it is, it's a needed ingredient - God's will for our life - and when it's combined with what's already in our THANKFUL hearts and then the fire of the Holy Spirit is added, what have we got? 

Well, it may not be cake, but whatever it is will be GOOD because that's what He promised. 

Prayer:

Father,

           Open our hearts to trust You more with everything that comes into our lives. Open our spiritual eyes to see the ingredient list is being checked off as You fulfill Your purpose in our lives, working all things together for good. In Jesus' Name we pray. We love You. Amen
