Yesterday, we looked at one of the most quoted and often misunderstood verses in the Bible: Romans 8:28.
We say it quickly: “All things work together for good.” But if we’re honest, life doesn’t always feel that way. Some things feel confusing, painful, and even just wrong.
Paul doesn’t deny that.
In fact, just a few verses earlier, he says we are so weak that we don’t even know what to pray. Life can feel like a tangled mess, hard to sort out, hard to understand.
And yet, in that very context, Paul says: “And we know…”
Not “we hope.” Not “we think.”
We know.
What do we know?
Not that everything is good.
But that God is at work in everything.
And here’s what’s even more important: God defines “good” differently than we often do. We think in terms of comfort, ease, or better circumstances. But Romans 8:29 tells us the real goal: God is shaping us into the image of His Son.
That means even the hard things are not wasted. Even the confusing things have purpose. Even the painful things are being used.
So this week, when life doesn’t make sense, don’t rush to judgment. What feels wrong may not actually be wrong. What feels wasted is not wasted. You may not know what God is doing. But you can know this:
He is working!
And He is working for His glory and your good!
