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

While Matthew 5:13 reminds the Christian to be the 'salt of the earth', today's verse in Romans reminds me that everything in my life is there for a reason, God's reason.

"We know" implies understanding, knowledge and application of belief

"all things" every situation, circumstance, obstacle, person(s)

"work together" each complements the other

"for good" God is good, therefore everything God does is good

"to them that love God" not every person, but these specific persons

"who are the called according to His purpose" God's first call is for every person to obtain salvation through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son

God's reasons for working all things together for my good becomes the seasoning in my testimony. To Him, perhaps, it is 'reasoning salt', but to me and then to you, I have become 'seasoning salt'. And so, I have to ask, "Do I make you thirsty? Is your throat dry from just thinking about it? Are you parched and broken from the spiritual drought in your soul?"

I know where you can get relief.

Amos 8:11

Malachi 2:2-4, 7-10

Refuse to hear

Refuse to believe

Refuse to worship

God curses you

God curses your blessings

Your generations are undone

Your solemn feasts, your holy days, are offensive

God makes you contemptible and base before all people, because you have not followed His ways fully.

Dissention and treachery are among you, because you have broken the covenant God ordained.

No understanding

Dark days

Shame

Confusion

God does not answer
