(James
Smith, "Food for the Soul" 1867)
"All things work together for good!"
Romans 8:28
What! Shall all my severe trials, troubles and afflictions work together for my
good? Yes--but they are not good alone--but only in connection with
other things.
Outward--and inward,
painful--and pleasant,
joyous--and grievous,
gains--and losses,
victories--and defeats,
all work together! And God superintends the working, so as to secure our good
and prevent our injury! God aims at our real and lasting good in
all that He does--and in all that He permits. He does nothing, nor allows
anything to be done which affects us--but what we shall bless and praise Him
for, when we see the entire whole in the light of glory!
"He has done all things well!" Mark 7:37
