GOD ORCHESTRATED IT
Read Romans 8 Life in the Spirit
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 NKJV)
The life of Joseph illustrated that all things work together for good. He was sold as a slave, imprisoned innocently however he became the prime minister of Egypt. When he was reconciled with his brothers; he could say it's God who meant for good what they did in evil. But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. (Genesis 50:20)
God knew the end from the foundation of the earth. He knows us, predestined us and one day will also glorify us. He sends the Holy Spirit as our Intercessor. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32). He had started a good work in us and will see to its completion.
When He called us, He does so for His purpose and will take us through this process and we mature in partnership with it. It could be a process of enduring suffering, the sufferings of this present time (Romans 8:18). God is orchestrating all these challenges to work together for our good and His glory.
Prayer: Lord the ultimate is settled as one You have planned for me. It is working out for my good and You are working it out in spite of my lack of understanding and knowledge. It will ultimately bring You the glory. My confidence lies in Your mercy and grace given abundantly to me to see it at the end.
