TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

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. Romans 8:28

​Memorize this Verse:
28. A W K T A T W T F G T T T L G T T W A T C A T H P

Notes on verse:

This is another Scripture that is many times misunderstood, because most people stop reading when it says “to them that love God”. It truly says much more than that though. Are we fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives? If you are, then all things work together for good to you. The key is “them that are called according to His purpose”.

People in all types of ministry forget that God has called them to a particular ministry, and they hurry to get into something of their own choosing. The ministry that God will bless you in is the one He called you to. Sometimes we do not realize exactly what God would have us to do. If we would get alone with God and pray and ask Him, He will reveal unto us what He would have us to do.

“To them that love God”, is the human perspective. God is working all things together for good, but those who love God are best able to appreciate that fact because they love Him no matter what. “To them who are the called” is the divine perspective. Scripture often refers to believers as “the called” or “the elect”.
