"Accept God's will in every situation." - Andrew Murray
Things happen. If you read it on a bumper sticker, you would probably get another version of what happens. We just have to come to grips with the reality and fact of the matter. Things just happen.
Things happen that are out of our control. Things happen that are caused by our bad decisions. Things happen because of what do or don't do, what we say or fail to say. Things happen.
We have to learn to accept God's will. We cannot simply toss around the notion that Satan is out to get us every time that we come across an uneasy situation. We have to realize that God's will is perfect. He allows things to happen, even to us as his children, so that He may get the glory in the outcome. He is always at work. He may be working on us before He ever works it out in our favor.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials - James 1:2 (NASB)
God is able to work everything out. He has a plan that is carried out through His will. Both are perfect. His will is perfect and so is His plan. How He works it out will work together for our good and His glory.
