Day 85

Romans 8:28 ~ “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan.” (GWT)

Yesterday I learned of a couple who lost their three month old baby to SIDS. Not only did they have to deal with the sudden loss of their child, they also had to endure questions from the authorities as to whether or not they had any involvement. What a horrible situation for a parent to be in. It really makes you wonder what God’s point in it all is. Taking this verse into consideration, how could THIS situation be for somebody’s good? I want to remind you today that it may not look like it right now, but God truly means for good to come out of whatever storm you’re in. Because you are His child, because of the plans He has for your life, good AND bad things will happen to you, but they’re all for your good. I know it’s hard to see the sun shine through the dark cloud of bereavement, the haziness of unemployment, the storminess of a broken relationship…but, it’s there. With every moment that passes by, God is working things out; He’s turning things around so that it will be good for you. It hurts now, but weeping only lasts for a night, your joy will come in the morning! (Psalm 30:5) You were called according to his purpose and He has every intention to take care of you. He will help you make it through the tough times as He guides you to onwards to your destiny. Don’t allow yourself another minute of sadness, as long as God is on your side…it’s ALL good!
