For Your Good

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them"

(Romans 8:28, NLT)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Every person goes through disappointments and things that don't seem to make sense. It's easy to get discouraged and think, "Why did this happen to me?" "Why did my loved one not make it?" "Why did this person treat me wrong?" "Why did I get laid off?" I had a man recently tell me how he lost his job after many years. He just didn't understand it. He said, "Joel, I gave that company my best. I was always there on time. I was loyal. It's just not right."

>Friend, we have to understand that even though life is not always fair, God is fair. He promises that He will work all things together for our good. I believe the key word in today's verse is "together." In other words, don't just isolate one part of your life and say, "Well, this is not good." "It's not good that I got laid off." "It's not good that my child got sick." "It's not good that my relationship didn't work out." Yes, that's true, but that's just one part of your life. God can see the big picture. That disappointment is not the end. Your life doesn't stop because of one setback. That is simply one piece of your puzzle. There is another piece coming to connect it all because God promises to work all things together for your good!

Thank you for that good teaching. We can't see all that the Lord sees and when there is a setback, its sometimes hard to see how God can make good come of it - but He does. Praise the Lord! May God bless you as you minister in His Word.

One of life's most difficult's hopes to grasp is the love Jesus has for each one of us --

believe in Jesus as the Son of the Father, who created all things, and receive the comfort

of the Holy Spirit.

We all have times when all seems to be going wrong and falling down around us. The Lord knows best and has something in mind for each of us. His way is always the best way. Lord give us the strength to be patient and know You are with us. We sometimes need reminders that we are not alone. At the times when we are at out lowest is when there is one set of footprints, for He is carrying us. Lord You know all our individual needs. Please let us all feel Your presence in our time of need. In Jesus name Amen
