Suffering

What if everything that has happened to you has prepared you for your greatest days?

Psalm 23 says God leads us in paths of righteousness. The Hebrew word for path carries the idea of "paths made of circles." God is always at work in our lives, but most of the time, we don't see it or understand it until we look backwards and see the circular nature of his work. 

This devotional, based on the book Connecting the Dots, looks at how to identify God's work in every season of life and see how he has prepared us with a mission and message. God really is working all things together for the good of those who love him.
