Daily Devotion -Don't Worry, Be Happy

For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose -Romans 8:28.

Whatever is happening in your life today that may seem unbearable, understand that the enemy might mean it for evil but God will make it good. For all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. You may go through the fire or you may go through the flood, you may have been broken in pieces or seen lightening flash from above. Know this for sure, He will never put more on you than you can bear.

Now we know God doesn't tempt anyone nor is He tempted by anyone and He doesn't bring trials, persecutions and/or tribulations on us. He allows these things, and then take us through and out victoriously when we let Him. This is how scripture puts it. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way of escape ( 1 Corinthians 10:13).

Then if (God forbids), we falture during a trial (yeild to temptation) He has a plan in place for that too. If we confess that sin or those sins to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us of these sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So you see, all things work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Prayer: Lord help us to not worry and be happy because You have all the bases covered in our fragile lives. Amen.

Encouragement: He's got the whole world in His hands and if you know He's keeping you, what are you going to worry about.
