Making The Wrong, Right
"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
It's easy to look at the difficult and painful parts of our lives and wonder why God would allow such things to happen. We might think that surely, this must be a mistake. But God does not make mistakes. Even when it seems like our circumstances are far from what we'd expect or hope for, God has a perfect plan that uses even the hardest moments for our good.
Romans 8:28 assures us, "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." This verse doesn't say that all things are good, but rather that God works all things for good. This includes the trials, the losses, and the moments of deep pain. God is sovereign and His plans are perfect, even when we cannot see the full picture.
Sometimes, God allows things to happen in our lives that we don't understand. These moments test our faith and challenge our trust in Him. But if we remain obedient and place our trust in God, He promises to use even the bad for our good. This doesn't mean that the pain isn't real or that we shouldn't grieve our losses. It means that we can have hope, knowing that God is at work in ways we cannot see.
Are there areas in your life where you've questioned God's plan? Have you faced situations where you wondered if God had made a mistake? Take a moment to bring these concerns to God in prayer.
God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. We may not always understand why things happen the way they do, but we can trust that God is in control and that He is working all things together for our good.
By trusting in God's perfect plan and remaining obedient, we can find peace in knowing that He does not make mistakes. Even when we cannot see the outcome, we can have faith that God is using every circumstance to mold us, strengthen us, and draw us closer to Him.
