“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 (NIV)
So many of the verses we read in this blog are familiar to those who have walked with Christ in faith believing for a long time. Our verse today reaffirms our belief that we have a wonderful God who is caring for us in the big and small things of our life. God watches over all and He knows each of us who really know and love Him. He has promised that no matter what happens to us in our life and no matter what we encounter, whether it is good or bad, easy or difficult, and whether it brings happiness or sorrow, He knows about it. And for us who love Him and are called by His will and for His purpose, the bottom line of all these things eventually result in what is good for us. This does not mean that we always know what is really for our good but we can trust our loving heavenly Father to know what is good for us. Not a promise that everything will end up being easy or enjoyable but it does mean that nothing will ever rob us of what we have been promised. When we face situations and circumstances that threaten our well being, God knows and in the end, what we receive will be good. This is His purpose and His promise.
