“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” Romans 8:28
I think God is trying to tell me something because Romans 8:28 keeps popping up everywhere I read, listen to, or go to today. K-love sent it to my email and Dr. Missler, even though the study is Genesis, told us to bookmark Romans 8:28. Then he read Romans 8 out loud and told us how important this section is concerning our covenant with God.
In layman’s terms, the verse states that the good, bad, and ugly journeys of our lives can be worked out for the good of God and us. So, we have to believe it and allow God to be the one in control! And, we also need to sit still and listen with our ears. So very important. Some very difficult attributes to attain and keep, especially for me.
Right now, as a family, we are in a traffic circle with different avenues we can pursue. It concerns our finances, my health, our son’s health, and our future. We have been praying and waiting for God to answer, which is extremely difficult for me. I want instant answers and instant results. So, I have to be especially careful not to allow Satan to push my buttons and cause me to charge ahead into my wants only and not my family’s decision. The stress, for me, is unsurmountable while I hold the reins tight on myself. And I find myself praying in my head and out loud throughout the day, trying to keep it together.
Maybe that is why God sent me Romans 8:28 today. He has heard my prayers and I need to hold on while He is making the way, opening the doors, and clearing the pathways. A little reassurance for one of His more difficult kids.
If you or your family is going through difficult times, bookmark Romans 8:28. Pray, God hears your prayers and answers them!
God Bless You!
