All Things...

 Do you believe 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. 

The good, the bad… all things.

The Bible is filled with truths of men and women who suffered terribly being ultimately used by God for good, for His purposes. 

We don't have to comprehend, in fact to tell ourselves we must comprehend or else not believe - would be damning ourselves to the nothingness of eternal death. To want to comprehend all of God is to commit the very first sin ever committed- that of pride, that of self-adulation.  Do you remember that Satan told Eve she could be like God- be gods themselves? He said, GOD knew that SHE could be a GOD- A LIE, from the father of lies, Satan himself.  

Gen 3:5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 

When we want to know all of God's way, all of God's reasoning, all of God's knowledge, all the whys and wherefores- we are saying we want to be a god rather than a creature of God- this is truth! 

We must accept the our GOD will work everything together for good in ways beyond our comprehension. Us creatures must bow down to our Creator in all ways, at all times. By the grace of God may we do this!

Excerpt- EJ Waggoner-

"A Prosperous Journey." 

Paul prayed earnestly that he might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to visit Rome. Read the twenty-seventh chapter of Acts, and you will learn just what kind of journey he had. Most people would say that it was not a prosperous journey. Yet we do not hear any complaint from Paul; and who can say that he did not have a prosperous trip? "All things work together for good to them that love God,"  Therefore it must have been prosperous. It is well for us to consider these things.

We are apt to look at matters from a wrong side. When we learn to look at them as God looks at them, we shall find that things that we regard as disastrous are prosperous. How much mourning we might save if we always remembered that God knows much better than we do how our prayers should be answered!
