   For   Y O U R   Good!        (2 of 5)       

  

In other words, God will cause us to meet people, go places, hear and see this and that because He is  

 

             causing every detail of our lives to ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD TO PRODUCE GOOD IN OUR LIVES!  

 

The picture on the front of a puzzle box is beautiful and motivates us to patiently assemble those many pieces to  

 

               create that amazing image.  

 

The various shapes, colors, sizes and pieces don't make sense as individual pieces.  

 

However, by assembling the puzzle pieces, we create its beautiful picture.  

  

 

For persons who have submitted their lives and obedience to the Lord God, we have witnessed how places, people and  

 

        actions have proven to be divine puzzle pieces of our lives!  

 

How along the path of life we are set up and positioned by God to later experience how ordinary interactions and actions  

 

       of yesterday have a direct association with the puzzle piece of our life for today.

                        For Y O U R Good!       (3 of 5)  

  

 

We can testify that Daddy-God really does bring to pass  

 

            Romans 8:28-And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called  

   

              according to His purpose for them.  

 

When we love the Lord, we will witness how everything works together to develop for our good!  

 

Thus, Daddy-God lovingly, skillfully and wisely places us in divine directions and associations.  

  

 

This is why as our verse implies, that Daddy-God causes EVERYTHING to work together; the bitter and sweet,  

 

        the pleasant and unbearable, the good, bad and ugly.  

 

Scholar Barnes notes: "All our afflictions and trials, all the persecutions to which we are exposed, although  

 

        they are numerous and long- standing, yet they are among the means that are appointed for our welfare".

  

For Y O U R Good!   (4 of 5)

     

 

Scholar Barnes also notes: "Though we must face the sufferings of this present time (Romans 8:18), God is able to even make those  

 

                   sufferings work together for our good and His good.  

 

They are always working together, whether it can be observed or not: they cooperate; they mutually contribute to our good.  

 

They diminish our love from this world; teach us to look to God for support and to Heaven for a final home.  

 

They produce a subdued spirit, a humble temper, and a patient, tender and kind disposition.  

 

This has been the experience of all saints.  

 

They have been able to say it was good for them to be afflicted; Psalm 119:67, Psalm 119:71; Jeremiah 31:18-19; Hebrews 12:11."  

 

But of course Romans 8:28 stipulates this blessed assurance only applies to those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.  

 

In other words, those of us who have accepted the call of the Gospel of God to hear and obey God's Word will experience things working together for our good. 

 

 

 

   

 

For Y O U R Good!   (5 of 5)

      

 

 

Thus, we are told in Deuteronomy 10:13-NLT- And you must always obey the LORD's commands and decrees that  

 

         I am giving you today for your own good.  

 

When we disobey, we don't love God as we should.  

 

Also, we are ushering into our lives unfortunate experiences which God did not sanction for our lives!  

 

 

However, thank God for the assurance of Deuteronomy 4:29- But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you  

 

        look for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.  

 

 

For those who are seriously obeying and serving the Lord, are in relationship with Him, let's live each day with  

 

       excitement and "Anticipation of Expectation" of what God is working together for the good of our lives.  

 

Each day Daddy is overseeing every detail of our lives and positioning us to be continuously blessed!  

 

Therefore, courageously yet cautiously, walk and skip through each day of your life remembering it may take a while  

 

for your beautiful puzzle to all come together, but hold on and KEEP THE FAITH for it will eventually all come together!
