ALL THINGS!



“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

He says “we know” that all things work together for good.  How can we know?  We need to truly get to know the One who is promising to have a bold confidence and trust in the promise.

He is God Most High.  He is sovereign over all things; over the heavens and the earth, over the sun and the moon, over the wind and the waves, over the trials and the pains.  Nothing slips through His hand and nothing is wasted.  This is an invitation to trust in His sovereignty, His unfailing word and His unwavering promises with confidence that He will use every fragment of our lives for His good purpose.  He does not promise all things will be good however He promises to use all things to work together for good for those who love Him.  He will use every suffering, every trial, every pain, every hurt and every tragedy for His good purpose.  He will turn beauty from ashes as we put our hope and trust in Him alone.

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23)
