The Lord may not definitely have planned that this should overtake me, but He has most certainly permitted it. Therefore though it were an attack of an enemy, by the time it reaches me, it has the Lord’s permission and therefore all is well. He will make it work together with all life’s experiences for good. – C. H. Welch
Praise can heighten your awareness that distressing circumstances are God’s blessings in disguise. Your trials rip away the flimsy fabric of your self-sufficiency. This makes room for God’s spirit to weave into your life a true and solid confidence–the kind of confidence that Paul expressed in Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Ruth Myers, 31 Days of Praise, 124

Thank-you for these thoughts. The last 7 weeks have been some of the most awful of my life and when I didn’t think that things could get any worse last night they did. A most needed reminder that God does have a purpose in all that is going on. xx
Such beautiful, poignant words. Thank you, Natalie. I needed that today.
I just had a horrible day. This was a timely reminder that God does work all things together for good…now I am very, very curious as to how they possibly could work out for the better. It will be good to know, whenever He reveals it to me. Thank you for posting this.
