Your situation is temporary…!

Sometimes, we have to go through circumstances that we don’t understand. Knowing that all things work together for our good encourages us and gives us hope for the future. Here’s a remarkable promise for us today:

“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.” (the Bible, Romans 8:28, NLT)

You may know that you’re loved by God, but are you persuaded? Between the head and the heart, like this song by United Pursuit says, God desires to do His work in you…!

““But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives…’” (read Job 19:25), Job said when he was tested and tried on all sides. Illness, grief, pain, suffering, spiritual attacks…and to top it all off, his wife was no help when, in her depression, she counseled him to “‘curse God and die.’” (read Job 2:9) 

Job was encouraged by neither his circumstances nor his loved ones. Even his friends reproached him, saying that if all of this had happened to him, it was surely because he’d sinned against God…

But Job knew! He knew that his Savior lived and would rise up and take a stand for him. He knew that God would silence the enemy of his soul; the enemy of his family; the enemy of his health; the enemy who seeks only to steal, kill, and destroy. (read John 10:10)

I encourage you to hold firmly to this promise: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet…” (read Romans 16:20). Have confidence! Your situation is temporary. God has already foreseen a way out. 

You know in whom you have believed: the all-powerful God, the Creator of the universe, the Lord of Hosts, the Good Shepherd, the Alpha and Omega…also known as the Lord God, the One who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. (read Revelation 1:8)

So be persuaded that you’re in His hand and that in Him, all things work together for your good!
