Disobedience and Distress

Romans 8:28, And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.----------What causes you distress? Maybe it is a child or spouse who might be hurting physically or spiritually. Perhaps it might be the loss of a job, or financial stress. Whatever it might be, distress comes in two basic forms: those things that others have done to me and those things that I have done to myself.----------Either way, the simple answer is obedience to God. By obeying Him, you are accepting that whether the source of your distress is from someone else or from your own actions (sins), God has the capability to bring it around for your good. Whatever the circumstances are, God makes a way where there can sometimes seem to be no way.----------It is the story woven throughout the book of Judges--God brings deliverance to His people even when they don't deserve it and even in situations that seem otherwise hopeless.
