All Things

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." ~ Romans 8:28

Most people read this scripture wrong. Or at least walk it out wrong. 

The scripture says that all things work together for good. Most Christians read or live this scripture as "all GOOD things work together for good."

The problem with the second way is that it doesn't account for the "bad" things that might happen to us. Jesus told us that in this world, we will have trouble (John 16:33). No doubt about it. It will happen.

But just because something bad happens, doesn't mean that God can't work it out for good. In fact, Romans 8:28 says that He certainly will.

So if bad things are happening in your life, don't worry. That's not the end of the story. God is still in control and can turn it around for good.

God bless,

J.W.
