You know, this is probably the last statement you want to hear when you are going through a painful situation that you don't understand, and often well-intentioned people that genuinely care about us revert to this statement when they can't grasp why a painful situation has occurred as well.

God is an enigma, He cannot be placed in a box as we think He can in attempt to be able to say, "I know God" or "This is how God responds in every situation".  We cannot explain why things happen in our lives, but there is indeed something that we can rely upon..."All Things Do Indeed Work Together For Our Good!"

As I am at the cusp of walking into my Promised Land, I can now look back at my Egypt and Wilderness and see that it's all starting to make sense.  I'm seeing how everything that I've gone through, painful, embarassing, stressful, uncomfortable, inconvenient...has all worked togegther to prepare me for Canaan.  God, in His infinite wisdom has allowed me to experience these situations as He says in Deuteronomy 8:16, to do me good in my latter end.

None of us like to experience anything but good.  We want our lives to be peaches and cream with a cherry on top, but, unfortunately, that is not the live we have in this dispensation of time.  Peaches and Cream don't help us grow, it doesn't strengthen us for the battle, it doesn't build our character and teaches even more about the grace, mercy, favor, strength and might of out God.

God knows what we need and what situations will shape and mold us into what He needs us to be in our Destiny.  ALL that we endure, ALL that we go through, ALL that we walk through is working together for our good.  Don't grow weary in well doing for in Due Season,  you shall reap if you faint not!
