Welcome to the wrong too strong, two minute devotional each week. We're blessed to have a new guest share a powerful scripture and a word of encouragement to ignite your spirit and fuel your journey of faith. Let these messages inspire and strengthen you as you grow closer to God and embrace the transformation he has for you. Stay strong, keep the faith and let's grow together. We're on a mission from God from darkness to light. And from Wrong To Strong. Hello everyone. My name's Julio Mercado and welcome to the Wrong to Strong two minute devotionals. Today I'd like to take a moment to reflect on a powerful promise found in Romans 8:28 and the scripture reads and we know that God causes everything to work together. For the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Think about that for a moment. Everything, not just the good or the easy things, or the things that we understand, but everything. Life often brings challenges that can feel like they're more than we can handle. Overwhelming actually. We will more than likely face moments of uncertainty. And in those moments it can be hard to see any good coming from our struggles. But this scripture offers us a different perspective. It tells us that for those of us who love God and are living our lives, according to His word, God is actively at work. He's not just an observer. He's actively working in our lives to ultimately bring about good. That doesn't mean that everything that happens is gonna be what we're looking for. But it does mean that God in His infinite wisdom and love can take even the most difficult of circumstances and use them for growth and to strengthen us for His glory. So whatever you're facing today, if you love God and are seeking to live according to His purpose, you can trust that He's at work in your life, even when we can't see it, He's there making moves on our behalf, for our ultimate good. My name is Julio Mercado, and I am wrong to strong.
