Day 38
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
When I read that verse, I think tragedy. I think catastrophe. I think illness and death and pain. But what about sin? What about when we ignore the Spirit and do the wrong thing? What about when we step so far outside of God’s will that we end up in a mess of a situation that is all bad, humanly speaking? Can he work that together for our ultimate good?
Yes. Really. He never condones our sin, and there are always consequences, but he takes our bad choices and our “missings-of-the-mark” and graciously uses them for our good. They are part of all things.
He is so much bigger, his plan his so much greater, and his grace is so much stronger than anything we fumbling, stumbling sinners can do.
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
