Daily Devotion:
"His Glory Is for Our Good"
1 Peter 5:7
New International Version
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
When we face an urgent need, our prayers become fervent, and our desire for a quick answer intensifies. It
seems that if the Lord doesn’t intervene soon, the very thing we dread could happen. And without a detectable response from God, we may feel as if He doesn’t care.
We’ve all said or thought something similar when God didn’t answer our prayers as we hoped. But unlike Mary and Martha, we know from Scripture that God’s purpose in all His choices for us is His glory. His goal is not to inflict pain unnecessarily but to let Christ’s life shine through us in hardship, to stabilize our confidence in
God’s goodness, and to strengthen our trust in His loving sovereignty His glory is for our good, and in this, we can rejoice.
