Romans
8:28 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.
This is probably among the top ten of most
memorized verses in the Bible. And we
love to memorize and quote it, because it promises that all things – no matter
how bad – work for good and not evil.
This is not true for those who don’t love
God. When things happen that are
difficult and devastating, those who have no hope in God are lost and have no
assurance that any good will come out of the tough times.
But to those who love Him, he is at work
conforming us into his image, so he is in covenant (committed) to seeing that
process through. Therefore, all things
that happen pass through his hands and “magically” transform into something
beautiful.
It’s hard to believe this in the middle of the
worst of days. That’s why we need to
read it, say it aloud, and lavish love on our God, because he totally loves
us and is worthy of all of our praise.
