Romans 8 v 28 says “and we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
Sometimes in life, things are tough and we feel we are being thrown things from all angles. We may feel that our heads are only just above water. How can this be for our good? How can struggling be God’s purpose for our lives? Yet we know that not only is God our Heavenly Father, but He is also our Creator, He is our maker, therefore He knows us better than we know ourselves. He wrote the handbook – The Bible- by which we live our lives so we trust Him and remind ourselves that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We can believe Him when He says, “yes even the hard stuff is for your good” and we can be encouraged as whatever we face, we are not alone, He is in control and He is beside us.
