ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD

Don't try to figure life out, God has everything all planned out. Whatever situation you find yourself in, negative or positive, it's all for a reason.

Sometimes the devil puts us in difficult situations just to try and make us turn our backs on God, look at the story of Job in the Bible. From it we also see how God protected him through it all and ended up blessing him in the end. Sometimes God tests us to see how strong we are in Him and if we truly trust Him. Look at the story of Abraham in the Bible when God tested him by asking him to sacrifice his only son Isaac (Genesis 22).

However, one thing I have learnt in life is that when the devil intends to harm us, God turns it around into something for our own good. Joseph's story in the Bible is a very perfect example of this. His brothers thought they had dealt with him when they sold him but God graciously turned the story around (Genesis 50 vs 20).

So instead of whining and complaining and asking God why you are in that unpleasant situation, ask Him to open your eyes and help you learn from that particular situation. God is working something great out of that situation as you earnestly love and trust Him that's why Romans 8 vs 28 tells us that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord.

We are human and that's why sometimes we end up reaching a breaking point whereby we feel like we can't take it anymore. That's why sometimes we end up losing hope and feeling helpless. We end up feeling as if God is distant and is not answering our prayers. Those are the times we need to pray and ask God to strengthen us for His grace is sufficient for us and His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12 vs 9).

When God is done working it all out, your life is going to be a living testimony that will encourage someone out there. Trust God, He has your back and He has you covered!
