Week 44

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

For my devotional, I choose this scripture because quite frankly sometimes I need to be reminded of it. Every seemingly random act and every seemingly little action are all working together to fulfill a master plan in my life.

I remember randomly signing up for a bunch of training early in my career at the port. I took training in every software I could think of: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Illustrator, InDesign, etc. These trainings have helped me immensely in my work life and have even proved useful in my public life.

There are times when I scream internally why some bad things have happened. How can mistakes, judgment errors, accidents, horrible events work together for my good? I’m not always sure on this, but I try to accept that they do.

I know that there have been times when I wanted something so bad, and I was extremely crushed when I did not get it. Then there would be a point in time when I had an “aha moment” as to why the thing I desired so intensely was in fact just very bad for me.

I don’t have all the answers, but I will walk by faith that things are working out for me. Even if I can’t see it now or if I don’t see it all.
