God Works All Things: A Reflection
When we wake up each morning, we never know what the day will bring. But God works all things in our lives with perfect wisdom. He never makes mistakes and never loses control.
Understanding that God works all things helps us face uncertainty with confidence.
The Bible shows us how God works all things for good through Joseph’s story. His brothers sold him into slavery. He was falsely accused and imprisoned. Yet God was working through every painful moment.
Years later, Joseph became a powerful leader in Egypt and saved his family from starvation. He told his brothers, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). God works all things, even evil actions, to fulfill His purposes.
Jeremiah 29:11 supports this truth:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
When we trust in God’s sovereignty, we face each day with confidence. God works all things according to His perfect timeline.
Remember that God works all things not just in big moments but also in small daily details.
When you miss the bus, face disappointment, or struggle in relationships, God is still working. God works all things to shape your character and draw you closer to Him.
How should we live?
- Stop trying to control everything. When we worry, we show we don’t fully trust that God works all things. Instead, pray and rest in God’s care.
- Look for what God is teaching you. Ask: What is God showing me? How can this help me become more like Jesus?
- Help others see that God works all things in their lives, too. When friends face trouble, remind them of God’s promises and encourage them to trust His plan.
This truth should comfort us daily. We are never alone. Our pain has purpose. One day we will see how God works all things together perfectly. This helps us depend on Him completely.
