GOD DOESN'T SEND US MESS!

GOD DOESN'T SEND US MESS!

Proverbs 10:22-The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. (YOU WILL HAVE NO REGRETS, as another translation puts it)......

Many times we get frustrated when we look around and see people who seem to get everything they want! We witness the wicked, and even Christian people, obtain 'blessings' the wrong way; but they seem to be happy and blessed nonetheless. So instead of waiting on God (regardless of how long it takes), we take matters into our own hands as well; hoping that God will still bless us! But we find ourselves in a world of trouble! 

What we don't realize is that GOD DOESN'T SEND, NOR BLESS OUR MESS! Those people who we've witnessed, who seem to be so happy now, could very well be extremely miserable! And if they aren't miserable now, eventually they will be! We have to learn to seek God and His perfect will for our lives FIRST, and that way He can align our desires to His; and then we are guaranteed the blessings! We can't go to God with what we want, and say, "HERE GOD, BLESS THIS!" That's just not how it works! God knows what will truly bless us and what will ultimately hurt us!

But we have a very real enemy too! He will give us exactly what we've asked for! Why?! Because he knows that eventually these things will destroy us! That is his goal! He will often times send a COUNTERFEIT right before God sends us the REAL! OR, he will send the counterfeit after the real, once he realizes that we've overlooked the real, because it wasn't 'packaged' the way we wanted it to be! But he'll make sure that the counterfeit, is 'packaged' perfectly (appeals to our desires) so that we will fall for his trap! (see Exodus 7 for deeper insight).

However, God will NOT give us everything we ask for, when we ask for it! Why?! Because GOD DOESN'T SEND US MESS! He knows that certain things will eventually destroy us!  A lot of what we ask for, we aren't really ready for! And God knows this! He sees the end from the beginning, so sometimes His answers are 'no, I have something better' and 'not right now.' So we had better repent when we realize that if what we are calling a 'blessing' from God is bringing us down and destroying us! Yes, if we have to struggle or become something we aren't meant to be, to hold on to something (or someone), they were not sent to us from God, but Satan! We've got to learn that everything that 'we' think is good, is NOT necessarily from God, and everything that 'we' think is bad, is not necessarily from the devil! We have to be very careful attributing the things of God to Satan and the things of Satan to God! 

But, how do we know the difference? GOD DOESN'T SEND US MESS! Again, He is not going to send you anything or anyone who is destroying you! When God blesses us, He addeth no sorrow to it! We really need to pray for discernment, although sometimes it's not a matter of discerning, but using our God given common sense!

GOD DOESN'T SEND, NOR BLESS YOUR MESS!
