'We know that God causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD, for those who Love God and are called according to His purpose for them."
Many have difficulty understanding the One Truth Today. When you are sick in bed and feeling terrible you may question how this could be good. If you had surgery for cancer and are uncertain of your future, you may wonder how God can ask you to see this as a good thing. If your father or mother, or sister or brother, son or daughter are taken from you, you may question that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD. God specifically said that this is for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose for them. Perhaps God did not mean "all things", or "everything". Maybe there are exceptions to this truth. Maybe God was just wrong. Think again, God is Truth and His Word is never wrong. His mind is above our mind and His ways are above our ways. God sees the end from the beginning, we do not!
We should be assured that God knows what He is doing and that He is with us even until the end of time. He is our partner in life and everything is working together for good and fitting into His plan and purpose for our lives. Remember, this applies to those who "love God and are called according to His purpose for them"! God has a plan for you and although we may not be able to see the end from the beginning, He does. Foremost in all of our minds is that if we are Saved by Jesus Christ, the Lord God, then our thoughts and attitudes should be vertical and not horizontal. That is to say that we are just passing through this life and are here for only a moment. Our destination is eternal bliss in heaven with the Lord, and there we will be always!
Remember to be absent from our sick or diseased or beaten aged body, is to be present with the Lord. Nothing is more important or beautiful or desirable to any believer!
God is in control of all things. When a baby dies, they are taken into His bosom. It is not a loss it is a win. When a soldier dies defending his country, they are immediately with the Lord. When bad things happen to "good people", those that are called according to His purpose for them, are taken by the hand and cared for and nurtured by God. He carries the load and he Saves us from death. God will never leave us or desert us. Even though we may not be able to understand all things, you can trust your God who does. God is never surprised by anything and he knows all about each of us. If you Love, Trust and have Faith in God then you will also know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOD, for those who are called according to His purpose for them! All things, means all things! Everything, means everything!
