“God does ten thousand things in your life, but you may only see three.”

John Piper · God's Providence

Scripture

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Reflection

I often only see the immediate changes in numbers, the tensions in relationships, and the pressures of reality, neglecting God's work in the deeper realms. Romans 8:28 reminds me that "all things" are not just favorable circumstances, but also misunderstandings, conflicts, and reductions. God doesn't wait for things to stabilize before taking control; He operates even in chaos. If I judge based solely on what I see, I become anxious; if I stand in faith, I find peace. Perhaps God is filtering motives, refining pride, and shaping patience. I need to learn to trust, rather than rushing to control.
