Romans 8:28

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

The promise of Romans 8:28 that God works for our good “in all things” is reassuring. It means that no matter the circumstance, there are only two qualifiers for God to be working all things together for our good.

First, He works for “the good of those who love Him.” If you love God, you can trust that He is working for your good. He loves you back, and when we love people, we seek their welfare.

Second, He works for “those who are called according to His purpose.” Do you realize that following God entails submitting to His purpose for you? You have been called by Him for a purpose that He holds for your life.

In fact, the wording of this verse suggests that these two qualifiers–loving God and experiencing His call–are actually one. Those who love God are called according to His purpose. And vice versa.

"Being called according to God’s purpose also reminds us what “our good” actually is. It’s not our comfort or worldly success. It’s the furthering of His purpose through us." ● Author Unknown

Father,

Sometimes I can’t understand how you can bring beauty from the ashes of my life.

I struggle to trust you with the broken pieces.

You say in your Word that without faith it is impossible to please you, and I want to please you.

I want to trust you. I want you to make me more like Jesus and use my trials for my good and your glory.

Help me believe the promise of Romans 8:28.

In the strong name of Jesus I ask...

Amen 🙏🏾
