Under Gods Command
More than Conquerors
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the goo of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
God works in “all things” not just isolated incidents-for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but God is able to turn every circumstance around for our long-range good. Note that God is not working to make us happy, but to fulfill his purpose. Note also that this promise is not for everybody. It can be claimed only by those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Those who are “called” are those Holy Spirit convinces and enables to receive Christ. Such people have a new perspective, a new mind-set on life. They trust in God, not life’s treasures; they look for their security in heaven, not on earth; they learn to accept, not resent, pain and persecution because God is with them.
Lets Bring it Home: We always here that God works out everything for the good. But, remember, you have to love him. A lot of times I hear people leave that out. In order to love someone, don’t you have to get to know him do build trust (Faith) in the person? Don’t be like me when I first got save, shouting I love you Lord in Church when I really did not know him. Its when I told God “I don’t love you, but help me to get to know you” is when I started a real relationship with Him, when God directed me to read the 4 Gospels about his son Jesus. The more I read, the more I became in Love with Jesus Christ.
