Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (16) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
What an encouraging set of Scriptures as I face the flow and ebb of life, the challenges and the tests, the trials and tribulations, yea, even the successes and praise; I must always focus on the Hand of God in these “all things,” remembering that it is His love at work shaping and forming me to His Will according to His purpose. I must always be in an attitude of thanksgiving, praising You for Your grace, mercy and love.
