Today’s Scripture…
Romans 8:28, 31-32
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Thoughts…
“For the good,” what does that mean? Surely, the troubles we are going through are not for my good. If God is working things out ‘for the good,” why are there wars, murder, abuse, poverty? How are these “for the good”?
If you have ever asked or been asked this question, let me clear something up for you. None of these things are the “for the good” part of this verse. Your focus is off. Those bad things are the “in all things” portion. You see God knows all these rotten things we will live through. These verses are telling you when all the muck of this world goes on, He will get you through it. He has a plan that is “for the good.”
Life is full of horrible circumstances. We live in a world full of sin. God is bigger than any circumstance. He is ready to help you through it. He will spare no expense. He already paid the ultimate price. “For the good,” He gave His own Son to die in your place to save you from death.
