In all things God works for the good…
It’s not hypothetical. (Am I using that word correctly?) maybe the term I want is hyperbole.
“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.”
Romans 8:28
It was 51 years ago today, probably around this time of day, maybe a little later, it was dark. Fifty-one years ago I was burned. My face and right hand would never be the same. But God used even this horrible thing, especially this horrible thing to preserve me and lead me into a relationship with the most perfect woman to share my life with. It was greatly through her influence that I came to faith in Jesus.
“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.”
Romans 8:28
These words more than any other in the Bible show me, remind me, that God loves me and will use even the worst things in my life, the worst things in our lives, for our good. Why? Because of two things. One, He loves us. Two, he is a good father. Okay Three things, because he can, he is creator and is still creative, still acting creatively.
What will he do with the rest of my junk that I’ve made and or messed up? What will he do with your junk? He is waiting to be invited into our mess to create something beautiful with our lives.
He does work all things together for our good and your testimony is proof of that! To God Be the Glory!
