Nothing Wasted, Nothing Separating

Where Romans 8:28 sits in Paul's argument

Today's Focus

Paul writes about working together for good in a paragraph about weakness in prayer and groaning. He says we know this, and the ground he gives is the purpose of God running from foreknowledge to glory. The promise is made to those who love God and are called according to his purpose.

Questions this reading raises

Who is God?
God is the one living Creator who made everything and depends on nothing, and Scripture answers this question mainly by telling us his character rather than by defining his substance. When God described himself to Moses he said he is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abundant in loving kindness and truth, and yet will by no means clear the guilty. The New Testament adds that this God is finally known in Jesus Christ, who has made him known.
What does the Bible say about worry?
Jesus forbids worry about food, drink and clothing, and he argues rather than scolds: your Father knows what you need, he feeds the birds, worry adds nothing to your life. Scripture then gives the worrier something to do, prayer with thanksgiving and casting the burden on God, and it limits the horizon to one day at a time.
