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
God wants good things for our lives. When bad things happen, we sometimes ask ourselves “how God could let this happen”? All things means all things. “All things” include our infirmities and trials; all things also includes personal tragedy that we will encounter during our life.
Life is full of difficult situations; financial tragedy, broken hearts, loss of a job, separation from a loved one, sickness, etc. As these events occur, we must trust Him believing that in these things He is working for our benefit towards an expected, good end. At the time it may not seem so, and at the time we may not understand it, but be assured that God is working for our benefit.
Too many times we are quick to decide what is a good or bad thing for our lives. Many times, as situations develop God has a way of redefining what we initially perceive. Many times, we will run around telling anyone who will listen how bad something is in our life, when God is intending it for our wellbeing. We must guard ourselves not to say “this is the worst ever” or “everything is bad in my life” because “all things” work for our good according to the mouth of Almighty God.
God tells us that all things will work together for good and that is precisely what He means. All circumstances, be they good or bad, will cooperate and submit to His divine will. It is His grace that has called us according to His purpose and in that grace all things work for our benefit even during pain and affliction for the promotion of happiness in our hearts.
We should receive our trials with thanksgiving, knowing that they will accomplish the purpose for which they are sent, in turn glorify God operating in our lives...His grace being sufficient for all our needs.
Your life in Christ is not without design; you are the handiwork of God in Yeshua, the Messiah. What He does in your life, He has always meant to do, even from the beginning of the foundations of the Earth.
He has a purpose and a plan. We are that purpose and that plan. He had such a purpose in regard to our redemption that He provided mercy in divine grace by Yeshua, the Messiah. He is ever watchful and purposeful attending to our needs, assuring that all things work together for the good in our lives according to His will.
