PROMISE FOR JULY 31ST

"And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

WE have the guarantee from the Lord that "all things shall work together for good to those that love God," who put their trust in Him. Whatever would not be a blessing to us will not be permitted." R. 5546, c.2, p.6.br /> br /> The well-instructed soul has learned that the good here referred to is not always, nor very often, earthly good--temporal advantage: they that love God...know that the "all things" include chiefly the trials and disappointments and perplexities and difficulties and temptations of the narrow way, in which they have consecrated themselves to walk; and that the "good" which will be worked out, will be in the chiseled and polished characters, likenesses to the character of Christ, which through faithfulness unto the end will be perfected in the Divine honor and glory. R. 2241, c.2, p.5.
