God makes all things good in His time!
I came across a saying this weekend that I have seen many times before but for some reason this time it is sticking. "God make ALL things beautiful in His time." Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." I can't help but park it on the word ALL.God has taught me so much the past few years in regards to trails and tribulations. James 1:2 "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy." When I first read this verse I really thought I was suppose to be happy when bad things happen. The more I explored the words and had the opportunity to study this verse along side a seasoned preacher, God revealed to me that trails and tribulations come our way as a means to draw nearer to Him. It's an opportunity to grow in character and perseverance. Non-Believers are watching to see our reactions in these difficult times. It is easy to portray the fruits of the spirit when things go our way, but what about when they don't?

Application: I resolve today to be careful of my reaction in difficult situations. I will remember Romans 8:28, that God makes ALL things good in His time.
