Romans 8:28 is a verse that is one of the most familiar verses in the Bible. It adorns the refrigerators of Christians from Maine to California. Sometimes I wonder, though, if it is commonly understood in a way that actually undermines our belief in God.
For example, do we really think that all things work for good? Did Hurricane Katrina work for good? What about the flat tire you had last week? Or the job you just lost? Or the unemployment that just ran out? Or the cancer they just discovered?
If "good" somehow equates to "my benefit", then how do we deal with adversities that never seem to end?
It makes us wonder sometimes where God is.
I think that's because we don't understand the verse. As we catch a glimpse of what God is saying to us, I think we will be massively encouraged and motivated to worship Him.
