Do you believe that He will work it out for you?

The Bible declares, “And we know that all things works together for our good, for those who love the Lord, who have been called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

This text is so powerful to me, for it always blesses me and others. We deal with so much as we go through in life. Life brings so much turbulence, so many storms that has the ability to rip the very life out of us.

God has a plan to take every adversity and every hardship you go through and use it. He’s not going to beat you down and make your life miserable. God’s desire is to take that situation and turn it around, then use it to bring you good. He will use those tough times to bring you out stronger, more mature and prepared for another level of living in Him.

That’s what Paul was saying to the church:, we will deal with uncomfortable moments in life; however, we have to know that the Master is working every difficult moment out for far more glory.

You may not understand everything that’s going on in your life, but I encourage you to keep going, keep being faithful, keep doing the right thing.

You need to know that in the end, God is going to turn things around in your favor. If God is for you, who can be against you? The answer is no one. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

No matter what’s going on around you this week, you can still put a smile on your face, because you know without a doubt that God is working things together for your good. Let Him do it. Let Him work it out. Let Him lead you. We serve a God who loves us and who never, ever fails.
