If you have accepted Christ, you know that in Romans the Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. We will go into more detail of the prerequisites of this verse later, but for now I want this verse to be an encouragement for those who belong to Christ.
What this verse is saying is, you have to realize that in all things, they are worked for our good. The one thing that we must keep in mind though is that we are human, and our minds are relatively small compared to the infinite wisdom of the mind of God. We are quick to second guess this verse because of things that may happen in our lives, a death in the family, someone gets sick, you lose your job, a natural disaster, we see these things and think that it is the end of the world. But we do not always have an accurate perception of what is "good" as refereed to in this verse, in the long run.
We tend to equate happiness with goodness, and sometimes the complete opposite is the case. So this post is two fold, first I want to encourage the believers that ALL things that happen work together for our good in the long run, and challenge to trust God that these things will and are working for our good, and not doubt just because certain things don't seem "good" right now.
