Walking According to His Purpose

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." ~ Romans 8:28

Yesterday we talked about Romans 8:28 and God's ability to turn bad things around for good. Today, we want to talk about the B clause of this verse. 

Because this promise isn't made to all people or even all Christians. It has a very specific caveat added to it. It says that the promise is made "to those who are the called according to His purpose."

What does that mean? God has a purpose and will for your life. He calls us to walk in that purpose in various ways. The question is, have we answered that call or are we making our own calls? Are we following his will or are we following our own will?

If bad things are happening and there doesn't seem to be anything good coming out of it, we would be remiss to not ask ourselves these questions. Some bad things are created by our own disobedience, stubbornness, and awkwardness. 

Make sure you're walking in His will and according to His purpose.

God bless,

J.W.
