For My Good

Introduction

Romans 8:28

1 Corinthians 15:58

3 Keys to Living Unmoved

1. The Re-frame

a. All things are NOT Good

b. But if you are in God and walking according to His purpose, things are forced to work for you.

Forced Labor

c. Circumstances, Obstacles, Trials, Setbacks, Issues, irritations, etc are all slaves to the plans of God over my life

2. The Root

2 Corinthians 1:19–20

Ephesians 2:10–13

a. God's Purposes and Promises outweigh my Problems

3. The Response

I'm a Thermostat not a Thermometer

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Thankful IN is not the same thing as Thankful FOR

Conclusion

David

1 Samuel 21:10–15

1 Samuel 22:1

David had to Run from where he should have been loved to Survive

David had to Play the Fool to Survive

David had to Dim his Shine to Survive

David's Problems were outlasting his Anointing

David had to find Comfort in a Cave

But David had a Revelation of For My Good before Paul ever wrote those words to the Romans

Psalm 34:1–4

Confession

Father God, in this season, let me not forget that All Things are working for me even when it looks like they are working against me. You got this and You got me. In Jesus' name. Amen
