God will work all things out for our good in this life when we are living according to His purposes (Romans 8:28).

Our lives are not controlled by anything or anyone other than God. There is no such thing as “fate”, “chance”, or “luck” for the child of God. Nothing touches our lives without first passing through His hand. And if He allows it in our life, He will give us the strength to endure it and come through the trial stronger in Him! We will not know all the answers to why this or that happens to us on this earth, and we do not need to know the answers for we know that our wonderful Lord God is too loving to be unkind and too wise to err.

How can we help but praise Him when we stop and consider all that He has accomplished on our behalf? God sent His very own Son, Jesus Christ, to this world to suffer, bleed, and die for our sins. He raised Him back to life on the third day (John 19:28- 20:29), and gave us His indwelling Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9-11) to comfort and guide us in this life. He has given us His Word with numerous promises in it to bring us through anything we encounter. He has promised to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and He has told us all things will work out for our good when we follow Him. What a glorious God we serve and what a blessed hope we possess through Jesus Christ!
