Everything Will Be All Right

 

“…God works for the good of those who love him…”

—Romans 8:28b

Do you ever start reading a novel and, after a while, turn to the end of the book to see how it ends? I’ve done that when I’ve become so caught up with the trials, difficulties, and tragedies that befall the protagonist that I want to make certain everything will be all right by the time the book ends.

One of the great comforts we have, as believers in the life-transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ, is that no matter what may happen along the road of our lives, when we come to the end of our lives on this earth we will find that heaven awaits us and everything will be all right.

The Apostle Paul confirmed this fact when he wrote these words in Romans 8:28-30:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

God has chosen those of us who believe before the foundation of the earth. Surely He will see us through to the end.

We can launch into this day with the confidence that God will see us through every aspect of our lives. And, as our life on earth comes to a close, everything will be all tight.
