<font color="purple"> Romans 8:28. All things work together for good to them who are the called according to His purpose.</font>

I first learned this as a brand new Christian. I was 14 and helping with the church's Vacation Bible School. (It wasn't my childhood church, it was the one that baptised me after conversion. I didn't even know what VBS was!!)

I really hadn't trained or anything, just showed up to have somewhere to go. Each morning the children would march in singing for an opening assembly. That morning it had rained, and the cardboard train the others had made for the children to march in with, got wet and ruined. I was standing nearby the preacher when the news was given to him by some very sad and anxious teenagers. The preacher said, "You know what Romans 8:28 says?" They didn't, and of course I didn't! "When your choo-choo gets wet, build another one."

Last night I was studying this verse again. A new light was given about it, as I studied the Greek. There are many differences between the two languages, and though the main thought usually stays the same, it gives a new twist.

In the Greek it reads more like, <font color="purple"> God is in all things, working good for His purposes for those He called.

</font> May God bless you this day, and keep you strong in the faith.
