Hello Saints in Jesus,
Ann and I have been re-reading Merlin Carothers’ powerful book “Power In Praise.” It helps to keep us on track, especially when the devil begins convincing us that we’re in a spiritual rut and “feeling” like God’s not watching over us, and/or that He’s abandoned us. One of our enemy’s favorite tactics is to try to convince us that something can’t possibly be worked for our good.
Right now, I can’t think of another verse that has meant more to me than Romans 8:28. Whenever Ann and I feel ourselves experiencing a spiritual rut (like self-pity; anything that threatens our peace and trusting that God’s in control) and becoming discouraged, Romans 8:28 provides the all purpose off-ramp for us to leave satan’s rut. God’s Word is so powerful and able to deliver us.
Always remember, saints, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
