When someone is living a life that pleases God, it is amazing when you take time to reflect, you begin to notice that God is in front of you arranging your path, He is with you when you are navigating that path. (no matter how good or how bad). Remember, he arranged it. You also notice he has always watched your back.
Some might wonder why a person needs a mighty God to watch their back. Are you not safe when God arranges the path, you're on and at the same time He is with you while on said path? The answer is you are ALWAYS safe with Jesus. In the world we live in, living a dedicated life for Jesus Christ and living by the Word of God instantly places you on the front lines of a spiritual battle. Satan uses people, situations and events we all have to deal with to wage his battle. He is cunning a completely ferocious.
When a Child of God walks into a room, every unseen spiritual enemy of God knows it! Let the games begin. If a Christian is not aware of this and not wholly prepared for the disappointments, situations and temptations, it quickly becomes VERY hard to follow Jesus. It does not feel like smooth sailing and life sure does not feel very glorious.
Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." All means ALL. All means even the bad situations are used for good. Many times, we do not have the brain power to understand His purpose. Remember, it has already been mentioned twice that God arranges a Child of Gods path. He sometimes allows bad things to happen so that our faith can grow. Can we go wrong here if we truly live a Romans 8:28 lifestyle?
Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." If you combine this instruction from God with the Romans 8:28 lifestyle with consistency, life will start to become gloriously smooth sailing. I have a fishing buddy who would say "Well JKH, that sounds about 3/4 supernatural to me."
I see it as TOTALLY supernatural.
