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

If we are alive and breathing, God is not finished with us yet. He has a plan for good for each of us

However, His “good” and our “good” sometimes look like two very different things. When we picture “good,” our minds conjure up sunny skies, carefree days, cars that never break down, jobs without difficult co-workers, children that never go astray, health, wealth, puppies, and rainbows.

When Paul spoke those words, “good” in that statement means God-like. To rephrase it: God is working in the life of the believer to make us more like Him. And sometimes, that takes strong medicine!

He will break our pride. He will strip away our arrogance. He will send people along to sandpaper us, to rub us the wrong way, to knock off rough edges. He loves us too much to leave us in a sinful state and to leave a sinful state in us.

In Hebrews 13:5 (Amplified Bible), God tells us: “I will never, under any circumstances, desert you nor give you up nor leave you without support; nor will I in any degree leave you helpless; nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you. Assuredly not!” He will complete the project He began. Embrace the “good” work He is doing in you!

Today’s Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. You are God’s workmanship created for good works! May your faith be made perfect in Him.
