"All things work together for good..." is a verse we often hear quoted. But like every promise in the Bible, the promise is conditional. Remember the Lord always says, "If you will, then I will..." So when something tragic or unfortunate in our life happens it is easy to say, "Well, it is for my good." When in reality, it is only for our good if we love the Lord and are in the will of God, then He can work it out for our good. The Lord has mapped out the best road for us in life, but many of us in our BC days (before Christ) lived in rebellion and ignorance and did things that we may be reaping now. In other words the law of sowing and reaping. If I robbed a bank in my BC days and suddenly found God in prison, the prison doors are not going to magically open because of my conversion. But if I love the Lord and walk in His will then being in prison can work for my good. If I will He will. Be blessed.
