Today's Word: Romans 8:28

Fear is in the hearts of many people around the world these days, with the new coronavirus disease spreading in many parts of the globe. Even some Christians grapple with fear that this illness might affect their loved ones. I admit falling into the trap at times, especially when reading the news. But thank God, there are dear brothers and sisters in the faith who offer kind words of advice and remind me that God is in control, that He is sovereign and knows everything that is happening. 
It is a comfort to know that He loves His children and shields us from harm. Romans 8:28 says God works for the good of those who love Him. This teaches us that if we trust Him, we can be sure that He will turn this bad situation 
into one that will bless us instead of harming us.

Let us all pray that God will immediately cause coronavirus to die and not afflict 

more people around the world especially here in our country, and that 

the mighty blood of Jesus will always cover us and all our families. 

In the midst of this storm, let us also continue to praise and thank the Lord, confident that His will to give us a good future will prevail. 

God bless everyone.

Today's Word: Romans 8:28

Saddled in problems and feeling like there's no end to your sufferings? Many people are in similar situation, even Christians at some point in their lives. Before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I felt exactly the same way as I was encountering troubles both in my career and personal life. But glory be to God, all changed when I was born again and started hearing and reading His Word. No, not all my problems were solved at once, but the Word filled me with hope and gave me wisdom and guidance on what to do to eventually be able to have those problems resolved. 

One of those first Bible verses that I learned as a baby Christian was Romans 8:28 (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) and it instantly became one of my favorites. I remember watching the 700 Club Asia on TV and Pastor Peter Kairuz sharing about this beautiful verse. He said that for a person who loves and worships the Lord, all things - both the good and the bad circumstances in his life - will all end up for his benefit. What words of comfort! I cried with tears of joy as this verse touched my heart and gave me hope that all troubles I was then going through would not compare with the happiness they would result in in God's perfect timing. 

Be encouraged and blessed.

Today's Word

What a beautiful morning it is to be greeted by this verse. When I was a baby Christian, this was one of those verses that really struck me and made me feel so good being a child of God. Imagine bad things happening to you because the devil wants to harm you. Don't be afraid because those bad things, God can turn them around for good so that in the end, they benefit you instead of hurt you. That's how amazing God is and that's how much He loves us! 

The Lord bless you today. :-)
