Know: Aware of something to be the fact or truth
Romans 8:28 AND WE KNOW * AND WE KNOW * AND WE KNOW (that is to be the truth) all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
You should remember that this was written by a man that 5 times received 40 lashes save 1. He was shipwrecked thrice, stoned and left for dead once, and put in prison many times.
AND WE KNOW that without a doubt ALL THINGS work together for good of them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. This is because God’s is not just looking at today like you are, but he is looking at your whole life from birth until death. Many times you will look at one piece of the puzzle and get upset while God sees how this one piece connects to the next piece and the surrounding pieces to help make the complete puzzle. He sees the end result and he is not just looking at the present problem that you are facing.
AND WE KNOW all things, (both good and bad) work for the good so we need to stop our winning and start knowing that God is in charge of our lives. He is the potter and we are just the clay. We don’t need to question the potter as to why he made us a saucer and not a plate. We don’t need to ask him why we have a chip or a crack. We should be praising God that we are a child of the king.
Remember that at the end Job wound up with twice what he had when things were going bad in this life.
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers (various) temptations;
3 Knowing this (AND WE KNOW), that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
It is time to start trusting God. The number 12 killer in American adults is su***de. It should not be in the top 1000. Su***de is number 3 among our teenagers. We that are sent (Apostles) must be spreading this word of God. Your problem is only temporary and God will not put anything on you that many others have not been through and survived.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
ALL POWER was given to Jesus. How much does that leave for Satan? Nothing can ever happen to you that is not directed by God or either allowed by God. Don’t let Satan win that battle that is going on in your mind. Trust in God and lean not unto your own understanding.
