In this episode of Wonderful Word Wednesday, we are going to focus on purpose.
"And we know [with great confidence]
that God [who is deeply concerned about us]
causes all things to work together
[as a plan] for good for those who love God,
to those who are called according
to His plan and purpose."
(Romans 8:28, amp)
Purpose: (Greek word: prothesis; Strong's #4286) - a deliberate plan, a proposition and advance plan, an intention, a design
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, purpose means something set up as an object or end to be attained: what one intends to do or bring about; the object for which a prayer, mass, or pious act is offered; a determination to act in a certain way.
Special Note #1A: Even in hardship and suffering, even in bitter disappointments, even when wrongly treated, Christians can rest assured in knowing that God will work amidst such situations to fulfill His good purpose in His children. (The Spirit-Filled Study Bible)
Special Note #1B: The situation may or may not be directly changed by God, but even if situations stay difficult God guarantees ultimate good results, including maturation of character to those who are called. (The Spirit-Filled Study Bible)
