ALL THINGS COOPERATE FOR GOOD!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

(Romans 8:28)

Thought: Interesting about this verse is that it says "all things", not just "some things". That is, even the difficulties we face, and we often don't understand why, also cooperate together for our good. Therefore, we must give thanks to God not only in victories, but also in adversity, not because God is pleased with our struggles, but because this is how our character is refined, similar to gold that is placed in the fire to remove its impurities. 

Prayer: God help me to give thanks not only in victories, but also in the midst of problems, so that my soul is not downcast, nor my heart sad. May I always remember that the greatest of all joys is the joy of salvation, won at a high price through Jesus there on the cross. May I see in everyday trials where the Lord wants me to be perfected. Amen.
