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.
It is likely that at one time or another that you have heard
someone say, "I am not worried.
Everything always works out for the best." Of course, what you probably did not know
when the person made the statement was whether that person had made the
statement from a spiritual or worldly perspective. Were they counting on continued good fortune
because they trusted in the God that they loved to stand up to His promises or
were they just feeling lucky?
There is temporal good and there is spiritual good. Temporal good is what men usually seek. When men seek God, spiritual good is what God bestows. Through His grace the temporal and spiritual needs of the men who seek Him are worked out perfectly.
Through the grace of God, we as followers of Jesus Christ do not
have to wonder or worry about whether good things are coming our way. We have been promised by Almighty God that if
we love Him and follow the calling that He has placed on our lives that all
things will work for together for good in our lives.
Does this mean that we will always live in riches? Does this mean that we will always live
without illness? Does this mean that we
will live trouble free lives? No it does
not. What it does mean is that we will
be broken from sin, we will be drawn closer and closer to Our Savior and in the
end we will be made fit for our eternal place in heaven. Now it just doesn't get any better than that.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for drawing us unto Yourself. We exalt Your name for the perfect love and forgiveness that we receive through Your grace and Your mercy. We thank You for the eternal blessings that are ours through the redemptive work of Your Son, Our Savior, Jesus Christ. We pray that the world may know Your Son because we boldly proclaim the name of the One who brings us our eternal riches. We ask all these things in the name of the Lord Over All, Jesus Christ.
