Scripture: “And 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

Reflection: It is reassuring to grasp. Romans 8:28 reveals that God orchestrates all things for our good. This is true regardless of the situation. This promise, however, does not imply that life will glide by without difficulties. The phrase “in all things” shows that God’s plan holds life’s highs and lows. Paul assures us that God takes even the worst moments and weaves them into His greater purpose. The “good” He works toward may not be quick or obvious. The “good” refers to our spiritual progression—our transformation into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). it refers to the fulfillment of God’s eternal purposes.

Trusting God’s unseen work is challenging, especially when life feels confusing. We may not see or understand what He is doing, but faith calls us to cling to His promises. Joseph’s betrayal and Moses’ exile seemed like non-fulfillment and failure, but God was quietly fulfilling His plan. In the same way, God is working in your life, even in the most challenging times. Trust Him.

Prayer: Lord, help me lean into Your unseen hand in my life. In moments of doubt, stir my heart to remember that You always weave all things for my good, even when I cannot grasp it. Fortify my faith and plant peace within me as I rest in Your plans. Amen.

Action Step: Reflect on situations where you wrestle with trusting God. Release them to Him in prayer today, trusting He is already shaping them for your good.
