God is Sovereignly Working

I believe God is doing all kinds of good works that are unknown to us that are for our benefit. He works within us, and around us, in all our circumstances to keep us going, to build our faith, and to give birth to faith. Whether someone knows him personally or not he has set so much in place that is a kindness and a care. Although He is a God who gives he also takes away for our benefit, and when he takes away it seems that some kind of faith is ignited, some kind of a reaction happens inside that helps us want to recognize Him. If he takes something or someone away we all of a sudden turn our cries toward heaven or our many emotions. If our income is not enough or our kids get sick or if a country is headed for disaster or clear and present danger is over the horizon...we start looking up to the One who we know can make all the difference, to the One who is sovereign. We are always at his mercies and graces, and he always works out everything for the good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose. And in his kindness, God has made known his warnings so clearly that things are not going to remain the same as we know it. This world is reserved for fire. Those outside of Christ have no hope of salvation with God, yet God in all his kindness and care has made known that he has loved the world, and sent his only son into the world so that people can believe in him and not perish but have everlasting life BEFORE the time runs out. Life as we know it is going to become more and more right and true, and everything and everyone will give an account for their existence; their free will choices. Everyone will be in their place based on choices, whether that be in heaven or in hell. And God is not willing that anyone should perish but that all come to salvation through Jesus Christ.
