God Works For Good - In All Situations!

In a recent Bible study class, we were studying the book, "Invitation to Silence and Solitude." One of the chapters was entitled "Dangerously Tired." Even though I am semi-retired, I have on-going health issues and often feel that way - dangerously tired! However, I feel blessed and rejuvenated by today's devotional and scriptures. I do sometimes feel exhausted but hope that I can use these times as "opportunities" for God to take total charge of my life! This reading also reminds us that we have a responsibility in order for these things to happen - to remain attentive to God, letting Him guide my every step.

Today's scripture from Romans is one that continues to speak to me through many ups and downs of life. One version says that "In all things, God works for good for those who love the Lord, for those called according to His Purpose."  I don't believe that God caused me to have all my medical issues but I do believe that during these times of rest and healing, good will come and that God WILL remain with me.

We've all had extreme challenges in life. At these times, have you ever realized that an unexpected "good" has come about because of these difficult times? I hope that you will share these times with me and other readers.
