He Worketh through Us
“for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.”
Philippians 2:13 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/php.2.13.RV1895
This verse is really great. It helps a lot when things aren’t going right. It’s great to understand that everything has a purpose and even though we can’t understand it realize the big picture, it’s going to work out.
Look back in our lives too a point that everything changed. Whatever it was, it was meant to be. There was a purpose. And it functioned as it was meant to. That’s not to say that everything from on was perfect and fine for us. It serves its purpose and we were influenced by the results.
God is perfect in everything He makes and does. Take heart that everything we do has a purpose to carry out His will. We can only see the small picture. Trust in Him that he knows what good for us in the long run.
You're right. His thoughts towards us is that of peace and not of evil to give us an expected end.
