Romans 8:28
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
That Bible verse is an amazing bold promise.
For everyone who has ever lived, bad things have happened. If we were to list all the bad thing that could happen, it would be an almost endless list. If you listed bad things that have happened to people you know, it would be a very long list. If you list bad things that have happened to you, it would be a very painful list.
This verse does not mean that everything that happens is good. No. Everything is not good. This world is not heaven. We live in a fallen world, full of sin, evil, sickness, disease, disappointments.
It means that even in those worst of circumstances, God is going to take them and work it out to be something good for you. It may be different than what you had hoped for. In the long term, God will work it for something good for you.
Love God. Ask God to work all things together for your good. Trust Him with your circumstances. Trust Him with your life.
