Seeing God in All Things

We really cannot see the complexities and interrelating nuances in the multitude of things happening around us and to us in any given day. For sure, we see the negative and yet we can sense possibilities. We cannot but help to feel the pain of emotional and physical hurts, the sting of loss, the abandonment of hope as the expected evaporates, and the unsettling effects of the expected morphing into the unexpected. Yet, almost totally unknown is what the future things are ahead.in your life.

The truth is and will always be, faith is not about things being good but about knowing and trusting God to be the good in all things. Thus our lives are not about things being good or bad and trying to make sense of them but about living in God’s love and letting Him work in our lives through all things for His purposes. God is in the good in all things because He is good at all times in all things.

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, NIV)

Oh, God, help me to ultimately and intimately believe in your goodness. Dear Lord, bring the balm of your presence into this moment and come with your peace. Help me to trust your compassionate gaze is upon me at all times and that your love and grace is working in all things. I thank You for what I cannot see and praise You for all You are. Amen.
