God Works

Read Romans 8:28-31

We spend so much of our time working - working at our vocation, at home with our home projects, and we spend a lot of time working on relationships and our hobbies as well. What we tend to miss is how God works in our lives.

Romans 8:28-31 has a powerful message for us regarding how God works on our behalf. Paul writes to the Romans that God works for the good of those who love him in all things, especially those called according to God's purpose. God's plan for all of us is that we would be conformed to the likeness of his Son. And as this conforming process happens, we are going to face challenges to our faith. Times when people let us down and times when we ourselves don't follow what we know God wants. Now for us to believe the truth about God in times of difficulty and personal struggles we must take Paul's question in verse 31 and commit them to memory. He writes - If God is for us, who can be against us?

Take time and meditate on the truths about God - that He works on our behalf and that He is for us (not against us). God is at work in our lives all the time. Take comfort, peace and joy from this eternal truth that God loves us with this unconditional commitment.
