All Things Work for Good - Romans 8:28

Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse:

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: All Things Work for Good

Not everything that comes into our lives can be classified as good. Paul didn't say here that all things are good. Yet, if we really believe this passage of Scripture, then we have to acknowledge that all things—the good, the bad, the sunshine, and the rain—are somehow working together by God's design for our ultimate well-being.

In my own life, when I look back on the trials and those difficult things that seemed far from good at the time, I can see now how they were working for my benefit. If we could see our lives in reverse order, this verse would be so much easier to accept.
