Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Cake in RomansOn a Sunday morning stroll beside the river a couple of days ago, God put these thoughts into my mind.That verse in Romans 8 v 28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. He got me thinking about a beautiful cake. Lets take it apart, He said! Could you eat these ingredients easily? Four cups of flour .... hmm.... so shall I eat that with a teaspoon? Choke choke! A few pounds of butter .... imagine biting that like a cookie (or use a knife and fork?) Yech! A cup of sugar. Very sweet, but a cup? Too much! A teaspoon of baking soda? (Ever tried it?) Half a cup of cocoa. (no words for that!) But..... put them all together, and in the right application... and hey presto! A beautiful cake. OK, so in thinking of that verse again. Many things in life happen to us and some are so sweet they are almost unbearable. Others so awful, they are also unbearable! But isn't it awesome to know they can all work together for GOOD! (We mean spiritual good here!) If we don't have Christ as our living saviour, then we also have bitter and sweet things, but I believe when God is orchestrating this mixing and blending, He knows what He is doing and all these things can work together for good.... HIS GOOD! Isn't it humbling to realise we have the privilege of being able to put our lives in Gods hands for HIS purpose, and just leave Him to direct and control? # posted by Caroline @ 7:14 am 0 comments
