For Your Good

God works for your good. That doesn't mean that you are exempt from suffering and trials. It does mean that God is working through all of it for your good. 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, NLT). Those who are called includes you as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bad things may happen to you, but always trust God to work for your good. That's because God is always good. He is good to all, especially to those who know Him as Father. So, you can praise God on the bad days, knowing that God works for your good.

Bad things may happen to you, but never doubt God's goodness. That means you never blame Him for evil, though the forces of evil in this world are real. One day God will completely destroy evil. Until then, God has a purpose to fulfill in you and the lives of all His children. Rest assured, that purpose is for your good.

Walking through the dark days can cause you to grow weary, but hope says to you, God works for your good. Look for the morning star. You will see a new day, when God's purpose prevails in your life. Know that God is working for your good, according to his purpose.
