No storm of life can come without God’s permission

“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” All things work together for good to those who love God. Without loving God, all things may not be working together on your behalf. We love God by keeping His commandments (John 14:21). We are called according to His design and purpose. The great plan of reconciliation is a plan to go out into all the world and preach, and teach the gospel. Our purpose should be in line with God’s purpose for our individual lives. It would behoove us to use our gifts and talents for God. As we use those gifts and talents for God, and not exclusively for the world’s sake alone, that’s the plan. God uses many situations and circumstances to shape and mould His people into mature faith believers. As we learn to walk by faith and not by sight alone, we build an invisible fence around us of God’s protection. All things will work together for our good as we stay in faith believing God. Our hope is in God our Savior the one who is everywhere at the same time (He is omnipresent).He is on top of each person’s situation. No storm, or great trouble is allowed to come to us until it has been approved by God. He knows our limits even though our minds say otherwise. These days are filled with evil, but Jesus has mastered and defeated evil long ago.
