    The word of the Lord for my life today is „it came to pass“. So many times Bible repeats these words yet I never took that as the word of the Lord for me. Today those words just jumped at me and reminded me of a great truth.
King James Version of the Bible mentions the words „it came to pass“ over 450 times (Gen 6:1;22:1;27:1;40:1...). The word of God says that everything shall pass away but His word will never pass away. So whatever came into our lives, it came to pass.

   Do you have problems that you can't solve? Do you know why they came? They came to pass. Do you have sickness that brings fear of death into your life? That came... to pass. Are you facing depression, illness, financial crises, sadness, loneliness, car trouble, ...that came into your life...to pass. Everything that came into your life it came to pass.

   Couple days ago, at the church where I serve I asked the congregation if anyone had a need. Every single person in the room had a need. Every one of us was facing a problem. Someone had problem with cigarette addiction, someone had a problem with illness and another had a financial problem and so on. As I thought of all the problems that we are facing I was trying to figure out how they came and why, but I was reminded „they came to pass“. There may be different reasons why they came but I believe that all those problems came to pass. People asked Jesus why that man was blind. Whose fault was it? Did his parents sin? Why is he facing such a difficulty in his life? Jesus said that the reason why he is blind is so that His name can be glorified through all that. And we know what happened to that blindness. It came to pass.

   On the other hand I was also reminded that not only the bad things will pass away but things that I enjoy in my life also came to pass. I enjoy driving my car and visiting different places. But that car came to pass and so did the places I visited or would like to visit. Then I thought of my relationship with my friend and how I enjoy hanging out with them. But even if I have a hard time believing it, that came and it will pass away. Being a favorite grandchild will pass, being a parent or grandparent will pass, having everything as planed will pass. As I was reflecting on these words I was reminded to keep hold on to something that will never pass away. Heaven and earth will pass away (they came to pass) but my words will never pass away (the word came NOT to pass). Mt.24:35

„Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away, but there's something about that name“.
