Romans 8:28 ~ Staying Focused on God's Love Through Every Circumstance

Romans 8:28 states, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." This verse serves as a profound source of comfort and assurance in times of uncertainty. It reminds us that, regardless of what we face—be it challenges, disappointments, or moments of joy—God is actively weaving every detail of our lives into a beautiful tapestry that reflects His goodness. Knowing that there is a divine purpose in both triumph and trial helps us keep our hearts anchored in faith rather than fear.

Reflecting on Romans 8:28 encourages us to remain focused on God's unwavering love for us. When circumstances feel overwhelming or confusing, we're tempted to doubt or lose sight of His presence. Yet, this passage reassures us that God's love is constant and intentional; nothing in our lives escapes His attention. Even in the midst of difficulties, we can trust that His love is at work, shaping us and caring for us in ways we may not immediately understand. This knowledge strengthens our resilience and helps us maintain hope as we navigate life's ups and downs.

Ultimately, Romans 8:28 calls us to trust in God's character and His promises. By focusing on His love, we are able to surrender our worries and anxieties, knowing that He is orchestrating every aspect of our lives for our ultimate good. This perspective not only deepens our relationship with God but also empowers us to extend love and grace to others, reflecting the same assurance and hope we have received. In a world that often feels uncertain, this verse helps us remain centered on the steadfast love of God, keeping our hearts and minds focused on Him and His love for us through every circumstance.

You Are The Temple of God

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst? 1 Corinthians 3:16 The past couple of days we have covered fear and being overwhelmed. Today I am going to shift gears and talk a bit and talk about the scripture above. I have heard over the past few days pastors, minsters, and church leaders talk about how the restrictions in place is against their right to worship. That the building is the temple of God. As we discussed we are in uncharted waters these are times many of us have not seen in our lifetime. Our government has asked every one to stay home, kids can not go to school, parents can not go to work, and social distancing is in place for good reason. We are all in isolation this is not targeted to one group nor any religion. It is foolish for a church leader to want to carry on as if nothing is happening in this world. I for one understand the importance of worship and fellowship but I also know the importance of k...

Obeying God's Voice

Obeying God's Voice Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Sometimes we are unsure if we are listening to the Holy Spirit and sometimes we doubt if we are being receptive to the voice of God. Years ago I was in that place, doubting whether or not I was hearing God. I have a favorite place in my home that I resort to, to visit God. Let me tell ya sometimes I come busting in God’s front door with both barrels blasting, sometimes I walk in happy, sometimes I walk in sad, sometimes I come in with so much confusion I do not know where to turn. Years ago I was in a state of confusion I did not ask God what to do or how do I do it. I told God I gave it to you Lord give me some peace in my life. It was only a matter of hours not days but a matter of hours he answered me. Now you might ask how? God placed an opportunity in front of me. He placed in front of me a moment that I could have obeyed or I could have ...

Scars

He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds, we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 Scars, so many of us have them, they can be scars that are very well seen or they can be scars that are well hidden. They can either set us free or they can keep us in bondage. When you understand that scars are not chains you find peace. Freedom, this word is used so much in the world it is something that almost all of mankind searches for. The most amazing thing about it is when you experience this word it is life-changing. There is only one way to obtain it and that is through Jesus Christ once you have it you are changed forever. Once you become born again in Christ, day by day things about you, around you start changing all for the glory of God. Now, I can sit here and state that life as a Christian is all sunshine and lollipops and if I did that I would not be honest. It is hard and in the Bible Jesus warns ...
