ALL THINGS

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

This is a difficult verse but it is one that I have depended on to get me over the rough spots of my life. It is a verse that you have to believe applies to the things in your own life before you really can sincerely share it with someone else going through a bad time.

Some years ago my daughter was in a head on collision and was in the hospital and I still wasn't sure exactly what her condition was. It happened on a Saturday afternoon and while still waiting to find out exactly how serious it was I preached a sermon from this verse. I had shared it with others when they were going through extreme difficulty and I felt if I really belived it (and I do) I had to preach it when it applied to me too. Thankfully my daughter recovered from the accident but I feel that I grew in faith as I depended on the Lord to get us through.

There have been many illnesses and difficulties in my life but I know that all things (not some things) work together for good to them that love God.That certainly must be true because life is really good.

There might be a break int the posting of these devotionals for awhile. I will be having surgery sometime soon (I should find out when tomorrow) and I haven't been able to make arrangements for anyone to upload my devotionals. Please keep checking and I will have them posted when I can, as often as I can. Thank you for your prayers and patience.
