“And we know with great confidence that God who is deeply concerned about us causes all things to work together as a plan for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose” (Romans 8:28, AMP). Together let’s unpack this scripture.
Confidence
Move forward boldly and courageously, recognizing that you possess within you the divine spark of creativity, resilience, and purpose that comes from being created in God’s own image. Your identity as his masterpiece isn’t just a comforting thought – it is a truth that will never fail. Use this truth to live wielding your authority. Silence the voice of doubt and replace timidity with bold faith that echoes your true identity
God’s Concern
All circumstances in your life are under God’s control and authority. He loves you. There is a plan and purpose for you. For the plan and purpose to be fulfilled, you must endure circumstances that are preparation. During the circumstances, God does not abandon you.
All Things
God is with you at all times. Time of accomplishments, adversities and weaknesses. He helps in carrying heavy burdens. God is on the sidelines cheering achievements and making a way for you to get through the storms. During all the circumstances requires acceptance, obedience, faith and perseverance. All the circumstances in your life are working for your good.
Love of God
God loves you. I ask you, what ways do you show him that you love him? Loving him means accepting. Accepting the good and the bad because all is for your good. When bad occurs do not turn away from him or become angry. Instead chose to love. Accepting that your father is by your side, cradling you in his arms providing you with comfort and strength. Use love to get you through. Ask him for what you need and he will provide. Jesus says “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:14, NIV).
Plan and purpose
You must contribute to the process. God is not going to do it all. There is a role for you to play. Your will becomes subservient to God’s will. God is deserving and expecting with your will receiving in accordance to God’s plan. Living to glorify him and do his work.
Accept and Believe
There are great things planned for your life. Keep moving forward, accepting and embracing all circumstances. Jesus says, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these” (John 14:12, NIV).
