Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Our God is a sovereign God. He has control over everything that comes into the life of the believer. He has a perfect purpose for everything that happens to us. The blessings that come into our life serve the purpose of creating within us a thankful heart. The trials that come into our life are used to instruct, correct and lead us into the path and purpose that God has for us. The Bible teaches us that in our weakness God's strength is made perfect. God will allow us to come to the end of our self in order that we might realize our total reliance upon Him. Are there any trials or burdens in your life today? Remember that God has purpose for them. Pray that God will reveal His reason for permitting the trial.

All Things Work Together for Good.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
When this Bible verse mentions "All things" that encompasses a lot of ground. It mean that the good things that happen in life work to our good. That's easy for us to understand. It makes sense to us that good things are working for our good. The hard part to understand is that the bad things that happen in our life are working together for our good. God has made it abundantly clear in His Word that trials in our life are for a purpose. God uses trials to strengthen us. Trials are likened to the process of purifying gold. The gold is heated to an extreme temperature and then the dross or impurities are skimmed off the gold leaving behind pure gold. God intends for trials to have the same effect in our lives. God permits the trials in our life to conform us to the image of Christ. When we suffer as Christ suffered we learn to lean upon our heavenly Father. We learn to trust that He is always doing what is best in our life. How is your life today? Are you on the mountaintop enjoying God's abundant blessing or are you in the valley of trials and dark days? No matter where you find yourself today be confident that God is doing a work that will be for your good a little farther down the road.
