ALL THINGS WORK 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. (KJV)
Everything may not always work out the way we plan but if we function in God's love then however they work out turns out for our good. There are times we try to force things to move forward but when it doesn't work out we feel bad, only to realize later that it was for our good that it didn't work out. We hear the Holy Spirit every time we listen to Him but when we don't listen we push things wrongly but He redirects them for our good.
There are two factors which contribute for all things to work together for our good; love for God and being called according to His purpose. When we received Christ we were called according to God's purpose. We only need to recognize it and remain in His purpose. But love is quite different because it is a call to a great responsibility. Even though the purpose is also a call, love is the fulfillment of that purpose. If we focus on loving God we will fulfill His purpose.
All things may not work together for good to those who do not love God and live according to His purpose. Joseph made a great statement while speaking to his brothers. He boldly said "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good."
Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
We read how Joseph lived his life; he loved God and lived according to His purpose. Love for God is obedience. He obeyed God's law and didn't live anyhow. While in Potiphar's house he maintained a godly character, even when he was imprisoned for no crime he remained in God's love and purpose.
If all things are not working together for your good, sincerely examine your love for God and your place in His purpose.
CONFESSION
God's love is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit and I give full expression to it. All things works out and work together for my good and advantage because I love God and I'm living according to His purpose. Amen Hallelujah!
