The Meta Story
Friday, September 9, 2022
Are you complaining and blaming others for your problems, and how your life is going? Anytime we blame someone for our problems, we are ultimately blaming God. He is in charge of everything; He is in control. Even your problems are under His control. Even things that seem out of control are under His control. If you are complaining about your life, then it’s one of two things. Either you forgot that God is God, or you are blaming and complaining against God. Either way, it’s not a winning proposition. The good news is, you can be at peace. Whatever the complaint, whatever you thought you should have but don’t, or you do have but don’t want; whatever the regret, whatever happened you didn’t want, be in peace. Remember, God IS in control. Never complain against God; you know He’s right. Give thanks instead, knowing that He’s in charge. If you are in His will, He will work all things together for your good. You will be blessed, because He loves you and He’s in charge.From Message #1017 – The Finishers
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5

Again, this points to our theme verse in our ongoing book study: “How to be Holy” by Peter Kreeft, with posts being filed to the book title under the category “favorite books”.
Insert: “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 . My Apologetics Study Bible aptly notes: The “good” concerns our final salvation. “Paul did not say all things are good – an absurd claim in view of both natural tragedies and human atrocities. … Prosperity theology maintains that “good” means God always physically heals or protects trusting, praying believers from tragedies. But this teaching runs counter to the tenor of this passage. In fact, to say that God always prospers His people borders on heresy.” “All” things means exactly that. Soli Deo Gloria!
