Defeats are sometimes victories

* Luís Alberto Alves

For lack of vision, many Christians believe that in defeats, God is far from them. They can not visualize that in the loss of something, Jesus Christ continues to speak and show that something better is going in the direction of that evangelical brother.

How many people do not plunge into depression after the end of dating, engagement or marriage. The world is over for them. They are angry with God. They preferred to continue suffering in a sickly and possessive relationship, where love ceased to exist.

But the cauterized mind prevents one from seeing the best of the Lord. They fight with Jesus Christ and even get out of their way. Perhaps they have never read Isaiah 55, verses 8 through 10, where He makes it clear that their thoughts are higher than ours. That is, it promises something wonderful.

God is always in charge, He will never leave anyone alone. You know exactly what we need. From the money to the house purchases, to the necessary resource to pay off the debts. Nothing escapes your command, even when we are defeated.
