“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

In this life we can encounter numerable afflictions; but the Word of God gives us hope for every tomorrow. Romans 8:28 shines light in the darkest of situations “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.”

Regardless to what we may be encountering at the present moment; and certainly, somethings can truly test our faith and bring us to our knees; God has this too; He is working behind the scenes to fulfill His divine purposes and is faithful to His promises!

It takes the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit to guide us through this journey called life; and there is one sure thing that we can cling to… God is omniscient, and He knows exactly what is occurring in our lives; nothing takes Him by surprise, and He knows how to calm all of our fears and dry every tear that falls.

In such times, we have to pull out our “faith reports,” or calling to mind exceptional occurrences, times in the past when God has made a way out to no way; they help to remind us that He is faithful and true; He will never put more on us than we can bear. “A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.” Isaiah 42:3.

We can also rest in the assurance that He never changes “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6. So, when we can’t seem to see our way through, we can depend on our inseparable companion who holds, keeps, and sustains us in His all-powerful hands.

I stand as a witness; that our Almighty and Sovereign Lord never fails! He makes those things that appear to be unbearable, bearable… we can and will do all things by His strength; and to God be the glory, when the sky appears to be all covered with blackness; there is always a light at the end of the tunnel- His name is Jesus . . . our light in the darkness!

My friends, if you are facing an insurmountable challenge today…run to the foot of the cross and give it to the Lord, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2. God is faithful in all things, and He never fails!

God never fails, God never fails

He abides with me, He Gives me victory

For God never fails

Oh, just keep the faith and never cease to pray

Just walk upright, call Him noon, day, or night

He’ll be there, He’ll be there

There’s no need to worry for God never fails!

Blessings and peace to all; let us lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus!
