Rom 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.
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD.
Think about that, ALL THINGS.
What does that include, logically. You don't get much more clearer than that do you? ALL. Nothing is left out, there isn't a single solitary thing that is left out when you say ALL.
If I say I want ALL of those shelled peas in the bowl you wouldn't leave out any, right? If I say I want ALL the cake in the fridge does that mean I don't care if someone else takes a piece, I would care.
All.
Everything.
All aspects of our lives, everyone of them is included in the ALL THINGS WORKING TOGETHER.
That means every part of our lives the good, the bad, the great, the awful, the wonderful, the horrific, all of it is working together and that's a few words we have to really think about. Working together.
When things work together there is action taking place. Our lives are a culmination of events that take place. A lot of those events aren't good things and can even seem as if they'd are going to destroy us, quite literally. And you know what, the very sad truth is, sometimes peoples lives are destroyed by the things that happen to them.
We need to see beyond the terrible things and to the whole of everything.
Seriously.
We can't let ourselves live our lives believing that one awful event should define us. Or even a series of awful events. The temptation to be swallowed up by the horrors of our lives can be very great. Satan wants us hopeless and HE knows how to work the things in our lives so that he gets us to that place.
Our God has given us HIS WORD, HIS HOLY WORD and in HIS WORD we read this--
Rom 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.
All thing work together FOR GOOD.
For good.
So how do we equate that with the things we suffer through? How do we believe this when we suffer daily, some of us live our lives in physical pain day in and day out, some do so in emotional pain that makes life so hard.
How do all the horrible parts of our lives work out for ultimate good?
We can't know, can we? We are called to have FAITH, to have HOPE in our SAVIOR, our CREATOR, our FATHER GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT.
We are called to have hope and Satan would have us hopeless.
We are asked to have faith and that faith means believing that even though we cannot fathom how our suffering, how our lives can all work together for good.
By our reckoning, by our way of thinking and believing we cannot begin to comprehend how it works. When we insist on trying we run into all sorts of problems. When we begin to lack faith it can make us lose hope and when we begin to lose hope we lose everything.
Our Savior speaks the truth.
The Word of God speaks the truth.
Everything and HE means EVERYTHING will work for good IF we LOVE GOD and are called according to HIS PURPOSE.
LOVING GOD!
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 3:11 According to the ETERNAL PURPOSE which he purposed in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD
Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
LOVING GOD.
LOVING OUR SAVIOR.
Having FAITH in our LOVING GOD this is what matters. All things will work together for good, and we must have faith in this! WE do not have to comprehend, we don't! We have to TRUST.
All by the GRACE of our GOD we will trust, we will love our LORD, our SAVIOR.
