Some things naturally “work together for good” without God being involved. For example, we learn lessons from our experiences. But the right understanding of Romans 8:28 is best expressed in the New Living Translation: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” This is a giant blessing. Even when God’s people have miserable experiences, if they continue to love and trust God, they can count on God to bring about blessings, spiritual and otherwise, as a result of them.
