So, last week I asked you to think about Romans 8:28, which says…
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.
Did you do your homework? I hope so.
For some reason this verse has been floating around in my head. I guess maybe because the last few weeks have been really challenging for me as an individual, as well as, for us as a family. It seems like we have been hit on every side…
So, here are my thoughts, I hope you will share yours as well!
As I thought about this verse, it hit me how great our God is! Romans 8:28 says that ALL things work together for good to THOSE who love God. I thought about all the situations in which bad things happen, and how if something bad happens to me, if effects those around me. But God’s Word says that He will work it for good for all of us who love Him. How incredible is that?!?!
Not just some, not just the people immediately affected, all! Bad things will be changed into good, for all of those who love Him. Does the good come immediately? I wish! Sometimes it takes years before we can see the good that God is working in our lives through trials and difficulties.But He promises that He will work all things together for good. But, are you catching it, for all…
What an awesome thing that God can take horrible tragedies that affect hundreds of thousands of people, and make things work out for good, for ALL those who love Him! Think about the logistics involved in making all things work together for good for 2 people. How about 50, 700, 100,000????
If that doesn’t want to make you worship God…I don’t know what will!
