“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…”
That’s the scripture in Romans 8, the promise that God works all things for the good. How many times have I thought of those words, whispered them back to God in prayer?
But there are days when the first five words of Romans 8:28 are really what I need to hold…
In All Things God Works…
In pain, He works…
In sickness, He works…
In wounded relationships, He works…
In need, He works…
In failures, He works…
In our fears, He works…
In our sin, He works…
No matter what we face, no matter where we are, no matter how dark…take heart dear ones, He is at work.
I pray for each of us to have eyes to see God at work in all things today
So beautiful, I’m not sure how to leave a comment worthy of the message.
Love this. Love you. Adore your picture!!
Thank you.
Julie, I sometimes need to be reminded that no matter what He’s at work. :)xo
This was one of our former pastor’s favorite verses so I am very familiar with it. Then I heard Charles Stanley preach one time on it and he went to John 14:23 “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching.” That really changed the way I look at the verse now because I thought I “loved” God but when we truly love Him, we will obey Him, then and only then will God work ALL things for our good. What a promise!! Thanks for the reminder today!! 🙂
Gina, that’s so true but don’t you think sometimes when we’ve fallen away and we aren’t obeying, that God is working in those times too. And I’ve found God’s idea of my good and my idea of my good are so often not the same thing 🙂
