All things!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text: Romans 8v28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8v28 (KJV)

“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” Romans 8v28 (AMP)

“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.” Romans 8v28 (NLT)

“That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.” Romans 8v28 (MSG)

There is a plan. A master plan. A glorious plan. And it is God’s plan. Our God is a good God and He is always in control. Nothing catches Him by surprise, and nothing is too difficult for Him. In Jeremiah 29v11, God tells us that He knows the plans (the thoughts) He thinks towards us. They are thoughts of peace and not of evil to give us a future, a hope and an expected end. God is always working. Sometimes we get fixated on the temporal, or the immediate, and fail to understand that there is a bigger purpose and a greater plan, and God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are the called according to His purpose. And we know that the Holy Spirit is interceding for us in accordance to the will of God.

“So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for Him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time – to show us His grace through Christ Jesus. And now He has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.” 2 Timothy 1v8-10 (NLT)

“Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out [from spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to the Lord for a name of renown, for an everlasting sign [of jubilant exaltation] and memorial [to His praise], which shall not be cut off.” Isaiah 55v7-13 (AMP)

Prayer
Father, we thank You for Your Word. We thank You for Your plan of salvation. Thank You for making us a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that we may shew forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Hallelujah. We thank You Father, and ask that You glorify Yourself in our lives this day and evermore in Jesus name, amen.
