It will be okay

Good morning everyone,

Our theme for this month: “Live like it’s true”

Our Bible verse for today: “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (CSB)

Our thought for today: “It will be okay”

Romans 8:28 is one of the most reassuring promises in the Bible. There we learn that God works in the middle of situations to bring good things out of them for those who are His. The verse does not say that all things are good – because obviously many things are not good. Many things are bad and shouldn’t happen. This is a broken world filled with sin and disease and evil. There is much that happens that is contrary to the will of God and it is bad.

But God is sovereign over all the situations of our lives and although bad things do happen to Christians and non-Christians alike, God works in the middle of bad situations to bring some good out of it for those who belong to Him.

As Christians we know this to be true. We know it Biblically and we know it experientially. We know it because the promise is written in the Bible and we trust that it is true, but we also know it because we have personally experienced it to be true, and we have also seen it played out in the lives of other Christians.

That being the case, during those times in life when we are faced with trials and hard times – when we or a loved one is sick, or has died, or one of the other many issues of life has happened to us, we trust that God is with us and that He is at work behind the scenes to get us through it. We know that ultimately it will be okay.

Part of learning to live like our faith is real and true is to trust God, even during the worst of times. Not only does that give us strength to deal with the trial, but it is also a powerful testimony to all those who observe us walking through this valley. God will use your strong faith to get the attention of others and He will also bring glory to Himself through His work in the middle of your time of pain and sorrow.

Every person reading this today has something going on in his or her life that you wish was not there. My word to you today is, “It will be okay.” God is sovereign over your situation. He is there, He is with you, and He is quietly at work behind the scenes working for your good.

God bless,
Pastor Jim
