ALL Things for Good
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
In one of the most comforting sentences ever written, we are assured that no matter what happens to God's people in this life, no matter how grim, disappointing, devastating, sad, confusing, lonely, perplexing, or anything, God is working for our good in that situation!
His purposes are perfect, unchangeable, and good for His people. If you want an easy verse to memorize this is one that can get you through many dark nights of weeping, and lead you to true hope, peace and joy as you draw near to your Father God.
Memorize it and bring it to mind on those nights you can’t seem to sleep because you are stressing over all sorts of things. This verse suddenly changes your perspective and your focus away from the problem toward God who holds the solution. This can calm your heart and induce a peaceful sleep like nothing else.
Trust God. He knows what He is doing, and He is doing it for your good.
