ALL
THINGS FOR GOOD
BREAD
11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future. 12 Then
you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all
your heart.”
Jeremiah
29:11-13 (NIV)
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. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be
conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brothers. 30 And
those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those
he justified, he also glorified. 31 What,
then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against
us? 32 He
who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not
also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Romans
8:28-32 (NIV)

“Could you
ask for a better promise? It is better
that all things should work for my good than all things should be as I would
wish to have them. All things might work
for my pleasure and yet might all work my ruin.
If all things do not always please me, they will always benefit me. This is the best promise of this life.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“We
judge things by their present appearance; but the Lord sees them in their
consequences. If we could do the same we
would be perfectly of His mind; but since we can’t, it is an unspeakable mercy
that He will manage for us, whether we are pleased with His management or not;
and it is regarded as one of His heaviest judgments when He gives any person up
to the way of their own hearts, and to walk according to their own wisdom.” John
Newton
“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
“So if you find
yourself in a difficult spot, remember:
you are there by God’s appointment, in His keeping, under His training,
and for His time. And all evidence to
the contrary, there’s no better place to be.” Robert
J. Morgan
“The Lord will
make a way for you where no foot has been before. That which, like a sea, threatens to drown
you, shall be a highway for your escape.” Charles
H. Spurgeon
“No sea is
deeper than the ocean of His love. There
is no army stronger than His hosts, no force greater than His throne of grace,
no enemy who can overcome His direct and indirect work in our lives.” Robert
J. Morgan
“Realize that
God means for you to be where you are.” Robert
