Dear Reader,
"We know that all things work together for good to them that love God" (Rom. 8:28).
This is a declaration that is especially comforting to the believer in times of perplexity and trial. There are seasons in our lives when all things seem to be against us, but it is then that we need a divine assurance like this. Faith says not, "we hope" but "we know." This is one of things of which the child of God is privileged to speak with a calm and steady assurance. We know that all things work together. All the issues and circumstances that are going on around us, however dark and mysterious the outward aspects may be, let us not forget there is a divine purpose that is being steadily fulfilled. God's will of love is being done and every event of life is contributing to its fulfillment. He desires our confidence, not only that we may be subject to His will, but that we may present our cares to Him. For by drawing near to God, our will is subdued and our heart is encouraged. Let faith grasp the fact that all things are working together for our good.
May the Lord use this issue to help you to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and may you reflect Him in your life and walk.
Thanks for your encouraging e-mail and letters. Please keep praying for the Lord's blessing on Toward The Mark.
Yours in our soon-coming Lord,
Emil S. Nashed
