All Things

Our All-Knowing God is working out all things for our good. This idea is profoundly present throughout scripture, particularly today's verses in Romans 8. Yet, this idea sometimes doesn't sit squarely with our experiences. When the Apostle Paul pens these words about God's handiwork he meant something deeply grounded in the character of God that we must understand. God is at work, but we have a propensity to resist it, sometimes without awareness. How, then, should we understand God's sovereignty and providence so that we participate in building the Kingdom of God, rather than hindering it.
