Romans III
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 ESV)
Purpose
My dog has one purpose, I think. He wants his ears scratched. Everything he does, whether it is cute, annoying, friendly, or frustrating has THAT behind it.
His purpose is clear.
God’s purpose is even more clear, although sometimes harder to grasp. God does ALL things for good.
I know that simply because He tells us, here.
I do not always sense that. I am not always aware of that. I do not easily understand that. I can not easily articulate it in the midst of shadows.
But His purpose is clear, absolute, guaranteed, and grand.
Because HE is good… His purpose is good.
