The word for today is - Entangled !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Entangled !
 
Now what does entangled mean? The meanning is: Twisted together; interwoven in a confused manner; intricate; perplexed; involved; embarrassed; insnared.The brief story of Cain reveals several of his character weaknesses. When Cain faced disappointment, rather than turning to God for encouragement, he responded with anger and jealousy. When given a clear choice to correct his mistake, Cain chose to disobey and further entangle himself. He let sin become his master and committed murder. God always offers us a choice, a way of escape and an opportunity to make things right. God warned Cain that sin was crouching at his door, ready to destroy him. God continues to warn his children always. Now we know that, we live in a world full of suffering, pain, and sorrow, but the question is why?  We always asking, "why God have you done this or that"? When hearing bad news we broke down and cried: "God, why did you let this happen to me"? "Why do bad things happen to good people"? That is one of the most puzzling questions of all for mankind. Maybe it is the hardest question of life. How is it that a God who loves us so much would allow suffering to come into our life. We must remember that suffering does not defeat or thwart the purposes of God. Hold on to Romans 8:28," 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". Tragedy, disaster, sorrow, and calamity do not frustrate God's purposes. Our problem is that we look at things from the wrong side. God did not send Paul's "thorn in the flesh,"Satan did,  but God used it for Paul's good.  Paul was a better man because of it. No matter what happens, God has arrange matters so that it fits into His plan.  Since, God knows the end from the beginning, read Isaiah 46:10,Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. We can trust Him in all things, even those which we cannot understand. Read John:13:7, "Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter." God has a purpose and plan in regard to human affairs. Just know that I AM God, I have a plan! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!
