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)
The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Romans, which many consider to be the most rich theological treasure in Scripture. He begins chapter 8 by discussing the differences between living by the Spirit and living by the flesh. He points out that living by the Spirit makes us sons and daughters of God.
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. – Romans 8:16, 17 (NIV)
Then Paul compares the sufferings that we face in this life with “the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). He entreats us to wait patiently and to trust that the Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t know what to pray for.
When God’s people experience more sort of troubles and trials we often become vexed and give up on God saying what’s the use of following God loyally and sincerely, though I couldn’t see anything working out good for me. We question God why is this to me? Why not to the wicked and evil people?
How often we speak in haste in not understanding God’s true love, His grace and Providence.. I myself am a walking testimony , in 2013 Nov 29th I met with accident while coming from my office when a crime patrol govt vehicle hit me.I went into unconsciousness coma indeed in Parvathy hospital. Doctors said if she doesn’t come out of coma within a week’s time we need to arrange a brain surgery for her. Though many prayed for me, it isn’t prayer’s but God’s grace that took me out of death bed.
Right on the 4th day I came out of coma, with little superficial abrasions. All cleared and healed as I prayed I was discharged in a month.
I have too asked God? Why me? What wrong I did? If I had died it would have been 9 years passed. Praise Jesus for his faithfulness and His wonderful love on me and On you all.. He works out everything for our good. As like Joseph in prison, Lazarus in tomb, Job in his sickness we may not know God’s purpose for why is this to us. Why are we going through it. But All knowing God omniscient and omnipotent does everything for our good to all those who love God and called according to His purpose..
Prayer:
Thankyou Lord for giving us life in abundance. That eternal and everlasting life in Christ Jesus. We understand that we are in love and called according to your purpose.. May our faith grow stronger and stronger so that we stand in Christ Jesus firmly in His promised word ,unshakable , until the end. Amen
