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."
This truth for today is one that many have a great deal of difficulty with. When you are in bed sick and feeling terrible are you tempted to question whether this is good? If your father or mother or sister or brother or son or daughter are suddenly taken from you, do you question if everything is working together for your good and according to God's purpose? Perhaps God did not mean that all things, or everything works together for the good of those who love Him. Maybe there are exceptions to His purpose for our lives when we are called. Maybe God was wrong. Think again, God is never wrong and He does work everything and all things together for good and according to His purpose.
We should be assured and know that God is a partner in our labor and everything is working together and fitting into His plan for our good and His design and purpose for our lives. Remember the caveat is for those who Love God! God has a design, plan and purpose for all of us and although we may not be able to see the end from the beginning, He does. So if a child is left fatherless or motherless by some terrible accident, then men may not see the good or how that will work for our purpose. First of all the question should be, was the lost one really saved by Christ and if so, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. That is a Good Thing.
Now God will bring together whatever is needed for that child or children and they will receive blessings that they have never thought of. Remember God is our partner in every and all things. He will fit them into a plan for good. They have been designed and made for His purpose and God will never leave them or desert them. So if God can be trusted here, He can be trusted anywhere and in any circumstance. So even though man can not understand or see what is happening in some cases, God is never surprised. We as believers know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE THAT LOVE GOD!
