One-a-Day Monday, 3/23/15 

number 1And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

This verse has got to be one of the most often quoted, frequently discussed lines in Scripture—and with good reason.  Few other passages can provide the comfort, the peace, the faith in God’s plan that this one can.

If we believe it.

The problem is we’ve heard it so many times that it begins to sound almost trite.  What say we freshen it up with a little independent application?  Look in your own life for the proof of this passage.  Remember the time, or times, or times upon times, that God has taken disaster and used it for your good.  I particularly remember a job nightmare from several years ago.  I thought it might end my career; instead, it brought me to a better position that has been a blessing many times over.  What are your stories?  Remember them today to strengthen your faith and restore your confidence in God’s plan.  Share them, and perhaps you will strengthen a brother or sister who desperately needs it.

Gird your loins, Beloved—it’s Monday.  Who knows what God has in mind for today?
