Seeing Every Situation as God’s Divine Will
Trust God in Every Situation
Key Scriptures: Romans 8:28, 1 Peter 4:12-13, James 1:2-4, Psalm 34:19, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
As a Christian, do you see every situation that comes your way as it should be by divine will? When things seem to go contrary to your expectation, do you murmur and despair or see it as a reason to trust God the more?
As a Christian whose life comes from Christ Jesus, you should see every situation that comes your way – whether good or bad – as it should be by divine will. I mean you should see that situation as a reason to believe God the more, pray the more and move closer to God the more, knowing that as a child of God, your trouble becomes easier to handle when you know that it will not last long.
But One thing is certain, as Christians, when our trials or difficulties are getting hotter and tougher, we are getting closer to our freedom and breakthrough. Remember the principle of life says that nothing happens for nothing; nothing comes by chance. If you understand this principle, you will always reflect on life itself rather than the situation you are in.
As Christians we must understand that whatever happens to us is for a purpose. Today everyone desires a breakthrough, whereas pain and disappointment most times serves to keep us for a new level in life.
Trusting God in Every Situation
As a Christian, how do you respond when life doesn’t go as planned? Do you murmur and despair when faced with difficulties, or do you see every challenge as an opportunity to trust God more?
📖 Romans 8:28
“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.”
This means that nothing happens by chance—everything is working together for a purpose. No matter what you face, if you are a child of God, that situation is allowed by divine will for your growth, refinement, or breakthrough.
When things seem contrary to your expectations, trust God more.
When prayers seem delayed, draw closer to Him.
When trials seem heavier, remember that you are closer to your freedom and breakthrough.
📖 James 1:2-4
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
God Uses Challenges for His Purpose
Many people complain and blame others for their misfortunes:
“I am poor because my family is poor.”
“I am sick because my grandfather had diabetes.”
“I am jobless because my friends misled me.”
“I am uneducated because no one helped me.”
This victim mentality keeps people from seeing God’s divine hand in their situation.
🔥 Truth: As a Christian, your trouble becomes easier to handle when you understand that it will not last forever.
📖 Psalm 34:19
“The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.”
Your Pain Prepares You for Promotion
Many people want breakthroughs without endurance, success without trials, and blessings without pain. However, God often allows pain and disappointment to prepare us for a new level in life.
Examples from the Bible
1️⃣ Hannah (1 Samuel 1-2)
Hannah was barren for years and faced mockery from her rival, Peninnah.
Instead of murmuring, she poured out her heart to God in prayer.
If she had taken a shortcut or lost faith, she might have had a child—but not the great prophet Samuel!
📖 1 Samuel 1:20
“So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, ‘Because I asked the Lord for him.’”
🌟 Lesson: Delayed miracles are often “mother of miracles.” When your breakthrough is delayed, God is preparing something greater than you asked for!
2️⃣ Joseph (Genesis 37-50)
Joseph had a dream that he would be a ruler.
But before the dream came true, he was sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned.
If Joseph had lost faith, he would have missed his divine appointment.
📖 Genesis 50:20
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
🌟 Lesson: Your trials are pushing you toward your divine destiny. The greater the trial, the greater the testimony.
3️⃣ Job (Job 1-42)
Job was wealthy and righteous, but God allowed him to be tested.
He lost his wealth, children, and health, yet he refused to curse God.
In the end, God restored double of what he had lost!
📖 Job 42:10
“After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.”
🌟 Lesson: What you think is a setback is often a setup for a greater blessing.
How to Respond to Trials as a Christian
1. Trust God’s Plan for Your Life
📖 Jeremiah 29:11
“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.”
- Even if you don’t understand, trust that God is working for your good.
2. Keep Your Faith Strong in Difficult Times
📖 Hebrews 11:6
“Without faith, it is impossible to please God.”
Faith is believing even when you don’t see the outcome.
Never allow doubt to take root in your heart.
3. Pray More, Complain Less
📖 Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Instead of worrying, turn your burdens into prayers.
Prayer brings peace and divine direction.
4. Persevere Until Your Breakthrough Comes
📖 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
Do not give up before your breakthrough arrives.
Your struggles are temporary, but God’s promises are eternal.
Final Encouragement: Delay is Not Denial
📖 Isaiah 60:22
“When the time is right, I, the LORD, will make it happen.”
If you are facing challenges today, remember that every trial is preparing you for a greater victory.
🔥 Declaration:
“Lord Jesus, I trust Your plan for my life. I know that my trials are not permanent. Give me the strength to wait for Your perfect timing. I believe my breakthrough is coming, in Jesus’ name! Amen!”
