I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

All things work together by God

All things work together for my good because of what God teaches me through them. That good is not just temporal but eternal. All the attacks I receive from Satan and all the mistakes I make can never alter the ultimate glory that is mine in Christ. Romans 8:29-30 says, "Whom [God] did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called; and whom He called, them He also justified; and whom He justified, them He also glorified." Our salvation is a sure thing! All things work out for the believer's good because God has predetermined that to happen. I was chosen by Him before the foundation of the world will become like Jesus Christ no matter what. God doesn't merely promise that temporal good will come out of difficult situations; He also affirms that all the bad things of this world can't keep us from glorification and heaven. What a great truth!
