The answer to life's hardest a question.

People ask all the time why does God allow this to happen?

Remember God is always at work in the lives of His children, working on our behalf, conforming us into the image of Jesus.

The answer to life's hardest question is this ;God will work in you, before He works through you.

We are now at the end of this year , look back reflect and see where the hands of God have been upon you and your family this year, be encouraged in His love and care and meditate upon these verses and seek God in all you do in the New Year.

May you be blessed in 2015.

Philippians 1:6 HCSB

I am sure of this, that He who started a good work  in you  will carry it on to completion  until the day of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:29-30 HCSB

For it has been given to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe  in Him, but also to suffer for Him, having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.

Philippians 2:13 HCSB

For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good purpose.

Philippians 3:4-10 HCSB

although I once also had confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised the eighth day;  of the nation of Israel,  of the tribe of Benjamin,  a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law,  a Pharisee; regarding zeal,  persecuting  the church; regarding the righteousness that is in the law,  blameless. But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value  of knowing Christ  Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ   and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law,  but one that is through faith in Christ  — the righteousness from God based on faith.   My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings,  being conformed to His death,

Philippians 3:12-14 HCSB

Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold  of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I do not  consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind  and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly  call in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:21 HCSB

He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His glorious  body,  by the power that enables Him to subject everything to Himself.

Philippians 4:4-9, 11-13, 19 HCSB

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.   Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses  every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true,  whatever is honorable,  whatever is just,  whatever is pure,  whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence  and if there is any praise — dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received  and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot.  In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him  who strengthens me.   And my God  will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
