“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them!”

Romans 8:28 (NLT)

Today’s key verse completely sums up the “Hallelujah Anyway” statement. For if we know that God is in control then what is the need to worry. Worrying puts us in the position of God and takes away the trust we have in God to help us through our situations. Interestingly the NLT version of this verse varies slightly from others. More often than not we hear the version that says “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God…..”, however this version claims that “God causes everything to work together…”. The focus varies from things changing to God working. The emphasis is not on our circumstances but on God, the author of life. It is God who is working in our lives to resolves all things for His glory.

Sometimes it might not be that the situation or problem changes as YOU might like, but what is guaranteed is the fact, that whatever the problem, God will make good from a challenging situation in accordance with His perfect will for your life. It takes faith to trust Him but the benefit is we allow God to work and don’t try to fix things in our strength! Moreover, whatever the result, if we know God is in control, we can say with full assurance, “Hallelujah Anyway”!

Whatever you face today, take courage that God is at work in your situation if you allow Him in. Shout out that no matter what happens in your day “Hallelujah Anyway!!!”
