All Things for Good?

So, as I read 1 Samuel 8-10 today I could really see how God works all things for good according to His plan. Christians say this all the time... but I wonder in the midst of all that's going on, all that seems wrong, all that seems foolish, or even sinful- even when we claim it- do we trust it?

Do we go about saying, "God makes all thing good..." without really believing, or even just hoping it's true. Do you really see God's good in every circumstance?

Yesterday, our well pump broke, so we had no water when I woke up yesterday morning. I have learned to stay pretty calm about these things by now- living in an old house- these things happen. I could have been angry and annoyed, after all, I was inconvenienced- and let's be real, much of America despise being inconvenienced. I had to go to work (the only day in 3 weeks that I had to go to work), and I couldn't shower.

But good came out of it! I have been wanting to go back to the gym- but it's been one of those things, where I just kept putting it off... embarrassed at the weight I'd gained since I had been there last. Because we had no water, though, I decided it would be a great day to sign up- go to the gym, and shower there!

This doesn't seem important, but I know God wants me to take better care of my body, and I felt like it was a shove to get going! To give God my health means to take care of the body he's given me. And- I struggle with that!

So, appreciate your inconvenience today! What good came out of it! Sometimes we can't see it- maybe running late allowed you to miss an accident- or maybe forgetting an appointment at the doctor results in seeing a doctor later who has more wisdom... sometimes we don't get to see it. Will we trust? I hope so!
