We know in everything, God works for good with those who love him, who are called to his purpose. 

Romans 8:28

Paul says that in everything that happens to us, God works for good for those who love him. Do you know what everything means in the original Greek? It means everything. In everything that happens to us God is working for good. Paul does not say that everything that happens in life is good. Clearly, that is not true. There is evil in the world. 

So Paul isn’t saying that everything that happens is good, but that in every situation God is working on our behalf to bring about something good. Anyone can bring good out of good. God brings good out of evil, but we have to cooperate with him. We have to work WITH him. We have to be on the look out for how to work with God so that he can bring good out of the offenses we suffer. 

Pray today for the perspective that God can bring good out of any offenses that we suffer.
