Romans 8:28 NIV
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
What do you do when you don’t feel seen or heard? When you are frustrated on your job or position in life? What do you do when you hope and pray, but your prayers do not appear to be answered? You trust in God. You trust in His plan. You recite the truth to yourself and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is working it out for your good.
His word tells us so and He is not a man that he should lie( Numbers 23:19). Pause and praise. Think about the evidence of God in your life and His goodness towards you. Breathe in your body, a mind that thinks, a heart that pumps blood. Think of His provision , no matter how small. Think of the resurrected life of Jesus that gives us life and sustains is all.
Go to His word and pray on it. He is working behind the scenes. Our minds can’t conceive it, but He is doing great things.
9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—
What stands out to me is this though..He is working it out for those who love Him, not the things but Him. The blessing are great, but God is the blessing. We can’t forget that. Satan would love to see us bound in frustration , but we must walk in the freedom of God knowing that whatever the circumstances He is working it out for His purpose and our good. He is writing our story and we have to relinquish the pen to Him. Walk in peace knowing that we are loved and cared for. Knowing that His plans for us are good Jeremiah 29:11.
Father sometimes life does look like or feel like we want it, but help us to trust You with our lives. Help us to stand on the truth that You are working it out for our good. Help us to love You and praise You in the midst of it all. Help us to be at peace. In Jesus name we do pray. Amen
