Romans 8:31-32 (NIV)
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these
things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did
not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also,
along with him, graciously give us all things?
We know God paid a high price to redeem and forgive us in
Jesus. If he has gone to such great lengths to purchase our pardon, what will
he refuse us that is good, right and holy? So if God answers our prayers
"No!" then it is for our good and the eternal well being of those for
whom we've prayed. His intent is to bless, not wound. His desire is to redeem
and bless. His commitment is to work things out for our ultimate good
(cf. Rom. 8:28) as he is transforming us to be more like his beloved Son (Rom.
8:29).
Thought for today:
Is your transformation audible and visible?
