Gloryian

Day 16 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.

CONTEXT

Original word: ἀγαθόν, (agathós) · "good" (in any sense, often as noun)

REFLECTION

Hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking; it rests on who God has shown himself to be. Read Romans 8:28 slowly and notice what it says about God before it says anything about you.

PRAYER

Lord, I bring you what feels heavy today. Teach me to hope in you, not in my circumstances. Amen.

QUESTION

What word or phrase in Romans 8:28 stands out to you?

ONE ACTION TODAY

Write Romans 8:28 on a card and keep it with you today.

Reflections are drafts awaiting pastoral review.
