Romans 8:28 NLT, “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.”
This is a great truth for us to remember as we continue to trust God during these very difficult times. God promises to work everything out for those who love Him, and are working to fulfill His purpose for their lives. Even when things are bad, God says He will bring good out of it.

There have been so many times I have gone through difficulties, but in the end I was in awe at how God brought blessings out of it. When we find ourselves in circumstances that seem hopeless, based on this verse in Romans, we can have full assurance that God will cause things to work out in our favor. As God’s children, none of our experiences, rather they are good or bad, are ever wasted. They are used for His purposes.
When we find ourselves standing face to face with bad, it can be hard to see the good. But God has a perfect plan. We can trust Him. His love for us will never fail, and His favor surrounds us like a shield…
Psalm 5:12 NLT, “Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”
We hold with hope to that promise that He will work out all things for our good even if we do not understand the why and the how.
Blessings 😊💙

As believers, we have hope in One name. His name is Jesus. In times of tribulations, we can fix our eyes on Christ. Nothing is ever wasted. God uses all things for a greater purpose. More strength as we continue to carry through each day. Stay safe and blessed Dawn 😊

It’s very comforting to know that God shields us and that blessings come out of difficult times. They truly do, but we certainly need these reminders when times are tough.

If we give our days to God day by day, and follow his leading, we will have opportunities to share the love of Jesus even in this time of crisis. He will also give us stories to share with others of how he has taken care of us.
