God the Synergist

Rom. 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

God is all about synergy (sunergeo).  Synergy is when people or things work together for a common purpose or end result.

Consider the amazing human body with its many organs, nerves, muscles and so on, all functioning together.  Or consider the universe and solar system with perfectly spaced planets rotating around each other at just the right speed.  Each of these is remarkable evidence that God has planned and designed for things to work togther.  He has it all figured out.

This verse in the book of Romans says that God also has planned for the experiences and events in a believer's life to work together.  The end result is the fulfillment of His purpose for you.  So no matter what is going on in your life, be encouraged and know that God has it all figured out.  And He will cause the end result of it to be good!

This is very encouraging - especially when things in the natural can cause you to think otherwise.

Thanks for sharing!

This is so true when we see things not coming together from our perspective - to remember that God has had a handle on it since before it was known to us. It's easy to get stressed over stuff and wonder what God is going to do about it, but He knows the end and we just need to trust! Thanks!
