Providence Means Nothing Is Wasted

Scripture:

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.” — Romans 8:28

Puritan Quote:

“God doth not waste the sufferings of His people. Their tears are put into His bottle.” — Thomas Watson

Personal Reflection

Providence teaches me that nothing in my story is random—no delay, no heartbreak, no closed door. God does not merely react to life; He arranges it with eternal purpose. What I call disruption, He calls direction.

Contemplation

What past disappointment might God be redeeming for a greater purpose?

Prayer

Father, forgive me for viewing my trials as wasted struggles instead of purposeful lessons. Teach me to see Your redemptive hand in all things. Amen.

Application

Write down one painful experience from your past and ask God to show you how He may be using it for good.
