Thanks for tuning in to today's Daily Drive with Lake Point Church, a daily dose of God's word for your

morning drive. When the word, not the world, becomes the majority of your week, your life will start to

change. For that reason, our prayer is that God will speak to you through today's devotional.

This Christmas, we want to invite

you and your family to join us for our candlelight services on December 22nd through 24th at any of our

six locations or for church online. For more information, visit lakepoint.combe.combe.

And now let's dive in to today's

devotional. All right, good morning, everybody, or good afternoon or good night, wherever you are.

And whatever you're doing, thanks for joining us on the Daily Drive podcast. My name is Bro,

and we've been talking this week about how God uses tough things we go through

to bring about ultimate good in our lives.

Now, if you've missed any of the episodes, I'd encourage you to go back and check them out.

We've been hanging in the promise of Romans chapter 8, verse 28 and 29.

Let me read it again.

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.

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his son.

We've been talking about how God is working behind the scenes in the dark,

even when we can't see it to bring about good in our life.

And his definition of good is whatever makes you and me more like Jesus.

And if that could happen to you and me, man, talk about good.

We've listed so far about five or six good things that suffering can accomplish in us.
