God's Outcome

Have you ever been in a situation and you just couldn’t figure out how to get out of it? Sometimes that’s how God works, He wants you to just trust and believe. Everything may not be meant for us to know the way out. God knows how things are going to play out for you and sometimes, that’s all He wants us to know. If He told us everything all at once there wouldn’t be anything to hope for. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). At the end of the day, we don’t know the outcome but we can hope to see God’s outcome.

Be obedient and listen to what He tells you to do. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock (Matthew 7:24). Listening will allow you to be able to receive God’s instructions. Sometimes His instructions could be as simple as to just wait on His outcome. The Holy Spirit will lead the way. Whether that’s to work on your behalf or for other people. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you (John 14:26).

There may be times where we have to accept that there is really only so much we can do. It’s easier said than done but, leave it all in God’s hands. Let Him bring the outcome. He can give you the vision or the dream, but leave it up to Him to make it come to pass. All we need to do is believe that He will come through and believe it will happen for you! I know that sometimes I get stuck in needing to know what I need to do right now in order to get what I envisioned- There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens (Ecclesiastes 3:1). When the time is right, the Lord will make it happen! (Isaiah 60:22). We can’t rush God for He allows things to happen for us at its appointed time. He knows exactly when we need that move from Him.

It’s God’s will for us to take His posture in everything we come across. He teaches us how to approach every situation with confidence in Him, a gentle spirit, contentment, love and grace. Amongst so many other ways on how to handle things, making sure our heart posture matches His will be key. Also releasing control of needing to know the who, what, how, why and when of our situations helps. Remember to be thankful and praise Him for the seen and the unseen. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28), so we praise Him in advance.

This walk takes pushing self out the way and allowing the Holy Spirit to come in, not knowing which way he may go! You know that the only direction is up! It may look like a setback, but that’s not what God sees! “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). This scripture alone is the whole basis of God’s outcome for you. We don’t know every detail, but we know it's a good outcome. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17).

Maybe God did tell you exactly how things will pan out for you, but don’t think the enemy won’t come and put doubt in your mind. God gives us inner strength to go through whatever may come our way. Never stop believing in what God can do. When anxiety comes during the wait- Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6). He gives us an everlasting peace, we just have to utilize it. We have to make sure the peace lasts and not allow the enemy to disturb it.

The enemy wants us to think that God won’t come through but always remember the God that you serve - Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?” (Isaiah 43:13).

We WILL see God’s outcome!!

Psalms 84:11 - For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good things does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless

Psalms 29:14 - Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding

John 16:3 - But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
