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.

Scripture

Romans 8

²⁸ 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.

³¹ What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? ³² Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

³⁵ Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

Observation

In this world we are going to have trouble.

Does that mean that God does not love us? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory (not just victory – overwhelming victory!) is ours through Christ, who loved us.

I like the word “everything” found in verse 28 where Paul says, “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.

Think about those “everythings” that are going on in our lives and you and I can rest assured that if we love God those “everythings” no matter how bad, no matter how terrible, no matter how excruciatingly painful they hurt right now, God will cause those bad things to somehow be used in our lives for our good.

I believe what our Pastor Bruce Moore says, “God never waste a hurt.”  He will use each one of them for our good!

Application

I will think about Romans 8:28 as I go through this day. And I will thank God for His goodness. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, nothing bad has entered into our lives or the lives of our loved ones that You have not allowed. You filter everything that comes into my life. You had to give Your approval for it to reach and touch my life. All things, everything works together for my good because I love You and I am called according to Your purpose.
