Are you feeling depressed or discouraged? Has life gotten you down? If so, put your hope in the living Word of God, by which you will prevail in the midst of every circumstance or adversity. The Bible likens hope in the promises of God to an “ANCHOR FOR THE SOUL,” keeping us “FIRM AND SECURE.” Why? It’s because the promises of God’s Word are eternally firm and unchanging and a sure foundation on which we can rest our faith.
Look at our Scripture verse again. It says, “AND WE KNOW THAT GOD CAUSES EVERYTHING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD.” Do you see it? There are “NO IFS”, “NO ANDS”, and NO BUTS” about it. This is an ironclad promise of God. IT CANNOT FAIL! The great preacher of another era, Dr. F. B. Meyer said, "If any promise of God should fail, the Heavens would clothe themselves with sackcloth. The sun, the moon, and the stars would reel from their courses. The universe would rock. And, a hollow wind would moan through a ruined creation the awful message that God can lie. But, thank God, while many may lie, God cannot lie. He abides faithful."
My friend, I want you to get this unshakeable promise into your heart and in your soul today. In the midst of whatever you’re facing right now, you can say with confidence: “I don’t care what happens, I don’t care how bad it may seem, I know, that I know, that I know, that this is going to work together for my good and for the glory of God.
