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.”

DAILY READING; 2 Corinthians 1:1-2:4; 2 Kings 14; Micah 4:1-5:1

In the 11th century, young princess Margaret emerged as the rightful heir to the English throne. However, when Danish conquerors invaded England, her family was exiled to Hungary. After a brief stay in England, in the year 1066, Margaret and her family boarded a ship to return to Hungary. However a fierce storm that blew during the night, redirected their ship and they landed in Scotland. This was to them a disappointing situation that almost found them stranded in a strange land where they knew no one.
They later discovered that their ship had landed very near to the residence of King Malcolm III of Scotland.
Later on, when the king saw them he took an instant liking to Margaret who was about 21 years at the time.
He would eventually propose to her and they got married.
Before Margaret came to Scotland, ignorance ruled the land. Religious observances had slipped into error. But Margaret who was raised with godly virtues, began to pray for a change in the land. Her godly influence eventually transformed her husband, his court, and the nation.
As the leading lady of Scotland, she set an example of holiness and worship of God. At her insistence, a synod or council of church leaders was called to correct the wrong doings in the land.
At her patient insistence, Sunday became the day of rest and worship that it was meant to be. She set an example of charity by personally taking in at least nine orphans.
The gracious queen loved to read, especially the Gospels, and an illuminated book of the Gospel that she used to treasure still exists today. She sponsored new churches and improved existing ones so that the people might be attracted to Christianity. Her life greatly affected the people of Scotland.

In light of Margaret’s remarkable story, we must believe that it was no mere chance that a fierce storm redirected their ship to land in Scotland. Obviously, she was sent to perform a missionary work in the land.
Many times a disappointment can be a blessing in disguise. Something can happen that may seem to appear as if things have fallen apart, but if you will choose to trust God that situation can be turned around.
When you ask God to show you a way out, He will open your eyes to see possibilities and seeds of blessings you probably never considered.
The Bible says that with every temptation God makes a way of escape. Often hidden in a seeming disappointment is a way of escape that can turn things around in ways and manners you never dreamed of.
When you are a child of God and walking in obedience to His Word, there can be no disappointments in your life. All things will work together for your good because you love God.
What may look like a cloudy day today can turn around to become your brightest day tomorrow, as long as you can trust God.
In every situation, keep your faith firm in Jesus by looking to His Word and holding on to His promises. Surely, His thoughts towards you are thoughts of good to give you a hope and a future.
People may fail you, situations may disappoint you, but always remember that Jesus never fails.
This is why in everything we keep giving Him thanks and keep judging Him faithful.
Truly, we must learn to live our lives in an attitude of gratitude and keep blessing God at all times.
While we may be worrying or getting frustrated over disruptions to our plan, in reality, it could be God’s way of orchestrating deliverance and guiding us into better positions in life.
Surely, God is able to turn every mourning into dancing and give us double for every trouble.

PRAYER: Lord, I believe that everything is indeed working out for my good. Please help me to always diligently study Your Word so I can have the faith to see You at work in my life in every situation in Jesus Name.
