Romans 8:28 "God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose."

If we read the Bible, we'll find countless stories of God's faithfulness. For example, Paul lived through hardship, persecution, pain, and all kinds of terrible circumstances. The apostle wrote these well-known words: "God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." This testifies to the fact that for those who trust in Him, God turns every difficulty, loss, and separation into something good.
 
God, the sovereign ruler of this universe, is in control of your life. Don't make the mistake of thinking He isn't, simply because He does not operate according to your will and schedule. From Abraham to Isaiah to David to Job to Jonah to Paul to John, we see God's constant love and care for His people.

His Word is a lamp that will give us clear guidance when circumstances are bleak. It offers the best direction we will ever find. When we meditate upon it, pray over it, grapple with it, and incorporate it into our lives, His light chases away the darkness.
