Verse of the day: Romans 8:28

Reflection

Paul doesn't say everything is good. He says God works all things together for good. The broken pieces stay broken, but they aren't wasted.

Prayer

Father, I can't see how today's troubles fit. Help me trust that you are still at work in them. Amen.

In context · Romans 8:26–30

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
