For Our Good and God’s Glory

One of things that I know in life that is true, is that all things will work out for our good and for God’s glory.

All things.

God is going to use every circumstance of your life and everything that happens in your day today for your good. And for His glory.

Listen to what God says through Paul today in 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12:

To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1-all-things-markHe says that God will give us power to fulfill every good work, so that the name of Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him.

In other words, today, in what’s happening, God, through His power, will work it out, in some way so that He receives glory.

No matter what it is. Somehow, no matter what’s happening, He is going to use it for His glory somehow.

His name will be praised through the circumstance of your life.

I don’t know how all the time, but it will.

And likewise, even if you don’t understand, He will work it out for your good as well. Somehow, someway, whatever it is that you are going through, God will work it out for you good.

You may think it’s impossible. And it may not be immediate. But, this situation you are going through, somehow, someway, God is going to work it out for your good, and for His glory.

He promised.

And He is true to His word.

For God’s Glory

God has promised to take care of us. To give us what we need. To give us life, grace, and mercy.

To restore us. To give us a hope. To give us a future. To give us life and peace.

The word says that God will give us the desires of our hearts. Now first, through He must have our hearts. So, when He has our hearts, the changes them, and forms them in His image.

And then, as our hearts are drawn closer to His heart, we gives us the desires of our heart.

But does all this, not just for us. But, for Him. Listen to what it says in Ezekiel 36:23-24:

And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.

God will be at work in us, and for us, not just for us. But for His glory.

He is going to use all things in our lives in our lives and for His glory.

All things.

He is going to use you today in this day to bring glory to His name. You are His prized possession. You are the apple of His eye. He loves and adores you.

And He will give you life and grace and peace.

And He will use all of your life, all of your circumstances, all that you are for His glory.

Today, all things in life, they will work for our good. And for God’s glory.

All things will. He has promised us.

And so when life is hard, we don’t understand or question or doubt or are afraid.

Remember. It will work for our good, and for God’s glory.

Remember. All things.
