God says and it happens.

What can go wrong when you submit to the fact that God is really God and that nothing happens without His knowing?

Nothing.

Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

 (James 4:15 HCSB)

Rather than worrying today, rest assured that good or bad, God's will is working itself out as it always has since the beginning of creation.  Whatever happens happens under His allowing it to happen, and we can trust that His will is indeed good and perfect because He is God, not to mention He gave up His only Son out of a fierce love for us!  If He gave up His Son for us, then whatever else happens to us today or tomorrow or whenever will be weak against what God will do to keep us in His perfect will. 

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 

(Romans 12:2 HCSB)

Remain in this truth and be like a tree firmly planted by the stream of this truth.

The season change and God may allow some dry times to hit, but He is the river of Life that you stay yourself to that will never leave you.  It is eternally life-giving.

Endure the fruitless days, and put your trust in His power, His love for you, His grace to forgive your sins, and His power to bring all things under His will for His glory and for your hope. 

Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near. (James 5:7-8 HCSB)

Strengthen your hearts by the truth.

I pray you find rest in the good and the bad that happens to you, God is deeper than what appears on the surface. 

All things are subject to Christ Jesus, and in Him we remain like a tree, firmly planted. 

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 3:21 HCSB)

The now is not the forever. 

But the forever is forever.

But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

 (James 1:4 HCSB)

And lastly, since I'm studying the book of luke:

By your endurance gain your lives. (Luke 21:19 HCSB)

God speaks, and the truth of His words shall never pass away...even when all things are destined to die out, His words will remain true.  

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. 

(Matthew 24:35 HCSB)

Endure and gain your lives.  God says it!
