All Things

From: Bob Gates Ministries

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

When you are in close fellowship with Christ, you won't be quick to get discouraged when situations bring conflict and disorder. You won't become frustrated or overwhelmed by those things you can't pray away, confess away, or speak away. Why? Because you know that if it's in your life, God has allowed it and He can use it to produce in you the nature of Jesus. "All things", not some things, work together for good to those who love the Lord.

You say, "But I can't see any real purpose in it." Hold on, you will! God is building a foundation under you. He's equipping you to handle a level of circumstances you can't cope with right now. Out of this pressure will come the power to do what He, not others, desires in your life. 

He wants you to know that your help comes from the Lord, not people. His Word says, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3)
