Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
All things? Even affliction and trials and disappointments and failures and loss? Yes, all things! Not all things are good, the verse does not say that, but our all-wise, all-powerful Heavenly Father makes them all work together for good to those who are His children.
Joseph’s experiences at the hands of his brothers were not good, but God made them all work together for good.
Paul’s thorn in the flesh was not good, but God made it work for good, bringing about a new dependence on God and a new sense of God’s power and His all sustaining, all sufficient grace.
So, my advice is this, just give God His rightful place in your life; seek after Him. Follow His guidance and know that whatever comes, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.”
