Today’s Scripture:

Romans 8:28

If you remember in our last episode or part one of All things work together for Good. I said that God sees all and knows all and when he is developing us and we experience storms or struggles he allows it because it draws us closer to him. So, there are times when God allows it to continue because now we are praying and seeking his face more than before.

You see, our trials and struggles, storms, and hardships all work together for good because it is orchestrated by God and he is in control. He is never surprised by the storms in our lives. Some things come into our lives that we cannot explain, loss of a loved one, sickness, and also financial stresses and I'm telling you that it's working together for good?!

These are the experiences that make us wonder how can God be good and how this will work for good. Can I be honest with you and transparent: Sometimes we have no explanation of the situation, only God can help us in some of these situations. I can't explain it or why. Only God can. You see, My life is inconsistent but God's word is consistent and it applies in all situations because he said all things not some things but all things work together for good.

It's not about my expected outcome but what does God want to work out in my life through this situation that I am dealing with? Is he trying to mature you?

Build your trust? make you into a greater version of yourself? God is doing something when things are going in the wrong direction for us.

The Bible says, "If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!" (Proverbs 24:10), another version says, "If you faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small". God in our different situations is building us up to have the stamina and the endurance to make it no matter what we face in life.

In other words, it's an I will get through this attitude that we need to have. When we say it's working for our good, we are saying we will get through this, somehow, some way God will come through. We know this because he's done it before. What do we need to endure these seasons of testing, storms, trials, and hardships? We need Strength. God's strength.

He says, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." (Isaiah 40:29). He also says in verse 31, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Family, you will get through this? But it won't be painless?

That situation in your marriage will not change instantly that chemotherapy session might not have been your last Did God promise you the absence of trouble and just happiness and joy in this lifetime, no, he never did. But what he does say to us is that all of the struggles, the pain, and the setbacks are working together for our good. Please share this episode with someone else and be blessed.
