Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Think about that like meditate on that for a moment. God knows the future. He knows the end

from the beginning and not only knows it. He oversees it. He in a sense ordains it. All that's

to come. This is how we know Romans 8.28 is true. God is working all things together for the good of

those who love him and have been called according to his purpose. The only way we can know that

that God's working all these things together for good is if God knows how all these things

we're walking through, especially hard things, tough things, things we don't understand how

God is going to work at all for good. So we trust him. We trust that all the history past,

present and future is held in the hands of God. And so we trust him with our life in this moment.

Today like I know some of you are going through some things right now that you don't understand

why this is happening. Why this has happened. What is God doing? I just think about Jesus' words

to Peter in John 13. He said, Peter, you don't understand now, but one day you will understand.

Can I just encourage you with that word from God? The God who holds your life in his hands is

working all these things together for the good of those who love him so you can trust him

with today with whatever circumstances are perplexing you or are burdening you even

to know that your God knows the end from the beginning and one day you will understand.

One day you will see, I will see that in all these things God was good, wise and just loving

and merciful. Oh God, we say in light of Daniel 826 today, we trust in you. And God, we pray

for help to trust in you when we tend to think we know better than you. And it's all our questions

and even our agonizing and suffering and pain God help us to trust in you. I pray for people

listening to this right now who are having a hard time trusting in you. God, I pray for

spirit faith in them that they would know that you are all wise and you are all good,
