ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD .

 

 

DECEMBER 29

 

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. 

 
All the Lord’s people love God.
 
They do not love Him as they desire, yet they cleave to Him, and follow on to know Him.
 
He is their God, and has called them according to His own purpose and grace, which was given them in Jesus Christ before the world began, and it becomes the Christian to view everything as having its place in God’s economy; and its work to do in accomplishing God’s purpose.
 
Angels, men, and devils, but perform His pleasure.
 
All things are connected by the infinite wisdom and good pleasure of the Most High.
 
He superintends every movement of every one of His creatures; and directs them to answer His purpose and end.
 
He overrules everything for our good; we never lose anything worth keeping by any of His dispensations.
 
We may gain by all that occurs; we may gain wisdom – holiness - matter for prayer or praise - work for faith, patience, or hope.
 
However, our best interests are secured; every thing is working for the good of the church; and though it be a rough, it is a right way to our heavenly Father’s house.
 
 

All things on earth, and all in heaven,

On God's eternal will depend;

And all the greater good were given,

And all shall in His glory end;

This be my care! and this alone;

Father, in me Thy will be done.
