Romans 8.28

– Pastor Rusty – Aug. 27, 2026

“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.” Rom.8:28

I believe this date is a prophetic statement unto you. Romans 8:28 is a classic passage of scripture that declares a massive promise to those who love God. If there is a qualifying statement to this promise it is to them that love God. I believe the second part “to them who are called according to his purpose”, is a restate of the first part, that if you love God, you are called as well. 🤔 So if you fulfill the first part the second part is self fulfilling.

Then there is the promise! That God will cause all things to work together for good for the believer that is in love with God. It doesn’t mean he is the instigator of these “things”… but that he is able to make all things to work for the benefit of the trusting believer. Even “things” that Satan himself has designed against you, God is able to turn those things as well into your benefit. So that at the end of the day God gets glory and the lover gets the benefit.

I’m reminded of a story about Corrie Ten Boom who once said she didn’t understand why they were plagued with lice while they were in a concentration camp. She didn’t understand why God even created such a thing as miserable as lice. 🤔 She said but then she understood the Nazi soldiers would not “touch” them because of the lice. She said she was able to even thank God for “lice”. This is a Romans 8:28 moment. All you lovers of God consider this, That you may in a “Romans 8:28” season. 🤔 You may be passing through the valley of Baca. The ending may look completely different than the beginning. Remember “All things work together for good.” Even the negative things, the loss things, the separation things, the painful things, disappointing things, hateful things… the word of God is true.
