Daily Devotion:
"God Works for the Good"
Romans 8:28
New International Version
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called
according to his purpose.
There is a plan that we explore, which we will not understand, but it is best. Though each segment of
it may not seem fair or pleasant, it works together for good. The disease Job endured wasn't good in and of itself. Hardly! But it worked together for good. Our perspective is dreadfully limited. We see only a pinpoint of time, but God's view is panoramic. God's big picture is at work now, and He doesn't feel the need (nor is He obligated) to explain it to us. You wouldn't get it. Just
remember, the Father knows what is best for His children. Rest in that realization.
There are consequences we experience that we could not anticipate, but they are necessary. Chances are good that you simply don't deserve what's happening. The consequences may have started to get to you. You didn't anticipate any of this. You didn't think it would come to this, but it has. What has happened is a necessary part of your spiritual growth.
