Our good, His glory

Romans 8:28 is a verse that most of us are familiar with: "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." John Macarthur comments on this: "In His providence, God orchestrates every event in life - even suffering, temptation, and sin - to accomplish both our temporal and eternal benefit." I just think of how kind, gracious, and merciful God is to not only forgive us, but then allow our sin that we did somehow workout for our good. That's amazing to me! Other times, when we are suffering, or going through major trials, this is the one of His promises I claim; knowing that God causes ALL things to work together for good. Even when it seems as if there is no possible good that can come out of it! I can testify to this that it is true. There have been times when I want to ask God, Why? Why is this happening? I think about this promise that He gives to those who love Him- He will work all things together for good!
