We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. —Romans 8:28.
Because Jesus is our Lord and Savior, God is in our lives. He is at work right now, undoing Satan’s destructive messes and leading us into the relationships and places he wants us to go as his salt to season and preserve the world, and his light to shine in dark places and bring hope for a better future (Matthew 6:13-16). This is true in everything we do and everywhere we go. This is true when we think things are good and when we feel like things are horrible. The key is for us to seek his purpose, to live his will, and share his grace. If that is our goal, then we can be sure of our God, and that he is with us every step of the way, working everything out for our eternal good, no matter how things might look moment to moment.
