🤝 Partnering With God For The Good

📖 Scripture: Romans 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (More correctly, God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good...)

🔍 Explanation: This beloved verse doesn’t promise that everything is good or that everything will be good or that everything will work out on its own to become good. What this verse is saying is that God is working all things together with those who love Him to bring about what is good. In other words, God is partnering with us, His people, to accomplish what is good in this world according to His will.

💡 Application: God is working with and through us to bring about His good works in the world. He is preparing us for that. We are His workmanship. Those who love Him are those who are filled with His Holy Spirit (His children) and who are now capable by His Spirit to fulfill His will in this world.

❓ Reflection Questions: 1. What kind of "good work" is God impressing upon you these days? 2. In what ways is He working in you so that together you can accomplish this? 3. What hinders you from obeying His promptings inside of you?
