"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul tells the Christians in Rome that God is in control of everything and all of the things that happen to those who love Him will work out for their good.
When we are in the mist of a bad situation, this is often very difficult to accept or understand. Intellectually, we know that God is in control, but it is often hard of us to see how some things, which we consider bad, can actually work in our favor and end up being good for us. However, we must recognize that we have a very limited capacity for understanding and even less foresight. We cannot possibly know what God knows about us, our current circumstances and the implications thereof. We just need to trust Him, and since He knows everything about the past, present, and the future, we should trust that He knows what is best for us. As the song goes, "we will understand it better by and by."
