All; everything; the whole; the entirety! from "His Kindness Year Round"

Romans 8:28 “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.”

I cannot count the number of times this verse has popped in front of me the past few weeks, including in a Christian novel. We all know there is no such thing as coincidence.  Obviously, it’s from the Father.

“And we know that God causes . . . . “.  Hallelujah!  God causes.  He causes greatness for those who abide in His will with obedience and who desire a relationship with Him.  Our Lord doesn’t cause suffering or illness or tragedies in our lives.  God sent His one and only Son to die to save, heal, deliver, and wholly restore us.  So God causes . . . . .

“. . . . . .everything to work together for the good . . . . “.  “Good”, also defined as superior, fine, excellent, worthy, enjoyable, pleasant. In other words – for your benefit and not against your well being.  Goodness is planned for you.  Are we going to have trials?  You betcha.  We’re still on earth.  We’re still human.  Satan still exists.  Didn’t Jesus have trials?  But the Lord God Almighty will always be with us during every trial.  And God will cause everything to work together for the good . . .

“ . . . . of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” 

Do you love Him?  Do you show Him your love by the life you lead?  Are you abiding in His plan and not your own?

Life’s daily trials may feel very difficult and fatiguing.  Satan will try to ensure that.  But God does cause everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose for them.  And we know what God says, God does.  He is Truth. 

Exercise your faith.  Believe so you can receive.  It’s the Father’s plan for you.  Be a part of that plan.

As I’m closing this post, I see a card by my computer showing Ecclesiastes 3:11a “Yet God has made everything beautiful for it’s own time.” See and be God’s beauty today and accept the blessings and goodness He has for you, according to His plan. 

Prayerfully, your sister in Him,

Robin
