I will work everything out for your good

From Promises: A 30-Day Devotional

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

– Romans 8:28

Why? There are so many things we don’t understand, and there are so many ways we can get upset at God because life isn’t going the way we think it should. But while we only see part of the story, God sees the big picture. Everything turns out good!

God has chosen and arranged every detail of your life — every single event, every single relationship — for a great purpose, and His plan is greater than anything we could imagine. Every line of your story, from beginning to end, will point to the magnificent, mind-blowing love of God for you and all His people.

Reflect:

• Can you think of a time when something bad turned out to be for your good?
• What’s one area of your life where you struggle most to believe this promise?
• What one step can you take to help you see God’s good purpose in your life?
