Believing God Works All Things for Our Good

We believe God works all things for our good, until we don’t.

Because those “until we don’t” reasons include things like tragedy, sickness, loss, unimaginable grief, fizzled dreams, and so on. 

And let’s get really honest here. Life happens and life is full of ups and downs.

So it’s easy to listen to the enemy’s lies during the down-times. Satan’s lies claim God doesn’t have our good in mind. Or else He would not have let this thing happen to us.

But even when I’m at the end of my rope, I know God is good, does good, and works behind the scenes for my good. I may not understand the whys or what He is doing, but it doesn’t change who God is or His good nature. 

Our circumstances never change God’s goodness.

So let’s remind our hearts of the Bible verse containing this promise.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV) 

Notice the promise is not that all things are good, but all the things work toward our good.

God Works All Things: The Promise of Good

God has promised good to us. 

The Lord has plans for our good, now and in our future. 

Since the beginning of time, God weaved His goodness throughout the chapters of His-story. It started with creation when He saw everything He made was good. 

We see God’s goodness when He rescued His people. Goodness revealed in Bethlehem’s stable and narrated in Jesus’ ministry. Goodness told at the foot of a bloody cross and reported as Victor in an empty tomb.

Also, we see His goodness in our lives. We are living testimonies to God’s goodness. God is good and does good. (Psalm 119:68)

Even when I'm at the end of my rope, I know God is good, does good, and works behind the scenes for my good. I may not understand the whys or what He is doing, but it doesn’t change who God is or His good nature.  Share on X Read More…
