The Goodness of God's Workings for Believers Romans 8:28 06.06.14

THE GOODNESS OF GOD’S WORKINGS FOR BELIEVERS

BREAD

28 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)

BUTTER

“To the child of God, there is no such thing as an accident.  He travels an appointed way…..Accidents may indeed appear to befall him and misfortune stalk his way; but these evils will be so in appearance only and will seem evils only because we cannot read the secret script of God’s hidden providence.”  A.W. Tozer

HEART SAVOR

  • ·       As a believer in Jesus, I have an ironclad and unfailing guarantee that all circumstances in my life will work for my good.  “All” means “All” in this verse.  The results may or may not be of my fleshly choosing or perhaps even what the world deems as good, but they always will be for my best – and what more could I desire?  Knowing I am secure in the center of God’s will and love is the safest most peaceful place to abide.  How else could Paul and Silas have been singing and praying and praising in prison after being severely flogged?  I am confident the jailer and his family thought their imprisonment turned out for good as it resulted in their salvation.  I must seek to see the bigger picture.
  • ·       The circumstances of my life are neither by chance nor happenstance.  They are orchestrated by my loving Father Who always has my best interest at heart. 
  • ·       God knows the end from the beginning, from ancient times what is yet to come.  I can trust Him to be my faithful Guide.
