The Amplified version puts it this way,”We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose”- How beautiful, comforting, assuring.
GOD HIMSELF;
And note it is not us who causes ALL THINGS to work together in partnership for GOOD, for we have neither the power or wisdom to do so, but that does not weaken our hope in times of great difficulties if we are looking in the right place to the Right One for LOOK again, at the verses in Romans 8:28-29 and see One who is not only able but takes responsibility to do so. GOD!
God is Good
God Does Good
God causes ALL THINGS to work together for GOOD to those who love Him and are the called!… and that’s for you! Your life is part of the Great All. All things working together for your good!
