We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
This verse is one of the favourite verses for so many of us. The phrase “all things” is all-inclusive and comprehensive. It includes the good and the bad, prosperity and poverty, the high and the low. It covers success and failure, strength and weakness, sorrow and joy, life and death, etc.
This verse speaks to us in every life situation, especially during difficulties, suffering, distress, persecution, and difficult circumstances.
We may think of God as a mere, passive spectator after having created the universe and everything we know. In reality, God is actively involved in our lives. He is in perfect control. He can take the worst of circumstances, sufferings, evil, and sin and work it for a greater purpose and cause. The crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest example. It should inspire confidence and hope during our tough times.
This verse is an answer to the work of the Holy Spirit, praying and interceding for us according to God’s perfect will(Romans 8:27). This promise is not for everybody but for those who are born again in Christ Jesus. It is for those who love God, more than anyone or anything in this world. Those who love God, are the ones with a new heart, regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
The following verse, Romans 8:29, gives us a clue about what ‘good’ is God working out for us. God’s purpose is to make us conform to the image of His son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
When God purposes something, He always gets it done. He never fails!
