Reason for Good Things

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Mark Shields

All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. – Romans 8:28

The post “Offerings of Praise” analyzed Leviticus 2 to explain the ingredients of a grain offering and how this offering was to be prepared.

A thought from this study is that obedience is the mechanism that provides a clear path to where we need to go. In life, we may face disappointment, suffering, and loss but becoming more like Christ sets these difficulties aside and brings joy.

Then tedious chores are endurable and one becomes convinced that each task brings them closer to fulfilling their purpose. Like in the song Every Good Thing by the Afters, God is the reason for all good things and that inspires us to give offerings of praise.
