God’s Got This - Brian Weaver

17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.  

Romans 8:17-18 

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. 

Romans 8:28-30

 “Romans 8:28 is surely one of the best-known texts in the Bible. On it believers of every age and place have stayed their minds. It has been likened to a pillow on which to rest our weary heads.”  ~ John Stott

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 
    neither are your ways my ways,”

    so are my ways higher than your ways 
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God is meticulously working.  

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him… 

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? 
    How long will you hide your face from me? 
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts 
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart? 
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?... 

But I trust in your unfailing love; 
    my heart rejoices in your salvation. 
6 I will sing the Lord’s praise, 
    for he has been good to me. 

Psalm 13: 1-2;5-6 

Believe the promise that God knows how to work with your “all things”.   

Have confidence in God’s purposes and power.

Hold on to hope that things are working out for your good.
