And from Wrong To Strong.
Hello everyone.
My name's Julio Mercado andwelcome to the Wrong to Strong
two minute devotionals.
Today I'd like to take a momentto reflect on a powerful promise

(00:54):
found in Romans 8:28 and thescripture reads and we know that
God causes everything to worktogether.
For the good of those who loveGod and are called according to
His purpose for them.
Think about that for a moment.
Everything, not just the good orthe easy things, or the things
that we understand, buteverything.

(01:16):
Life often brings challengesthat can feel like they're more
than we can handle.
Overwhelming actually.
We will more than likely facemoments of uncertainty.
And in those moments it can behard to see any good coming from
our struggles.
But this scripture offers us adifferent perspective.
It tells us that for those of uswho love God and are living our

(01:37):
lives, according to His word,God is actively at work.
He's not just an observer.
He's actively working in ourlives to ultimately bring about
good.
That doesn't mean thateverything that happens is gonna
be what we're looking for.
But it does mean that God in Hisinfinite wisdom and love can

(01:57):
take even the most difficult ofcircumstances and use them for
growth and to strengthen us forHis glory.
So whatever you're facing today,if you love God and are seeking
to live according to Hispurpose, you can trust that He's
at work in your life, even whenwe can't see it, He's there
making moves on our behalf, forour ultimate good.
