GOD in control! Do we believe this?

Introduction
How would you describe life?
Some people left sentences like:
• An unknown author said: “We are born wet, naked and hungry. Then things get worse.”
• Edwin Robson said: “Life is the game that must be played.”
• Author Barbara Kingsolver said: “Life is so stupid I can’t stand it.”
I ask you, is life really just a game?
Do we see twists of fate that are very terrible?
For many, life makes no sense. But for us who believe the Bible, are these just truths that we believe, or can believe?
Our vision must be supported by the Word of GOD. We should not judge life solely by circumstances or experiences. But we must see life as it is revealed by GOD in His Word. See what Romans 8:28 says “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to His purpose." A very well-known text and therefore much cited. But know, this text does not It is a slogan for propaganda and, worst of all, false propaganda. It is also not just a prayer to be said in moments of despair. Christian life. Pay attention again to this text from Romans 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.” Understand that no matter what we encounter in life, GOD will always be in control.
Does this promise come with any restrictions? It is very clear what the Apostle Paul says here. It's not a promise for anyone, it's not a universal promise. Paul does not say: …and all things work together for the good of all. You have a mess in your life and you need to clean it up, you need to deal with it. Try to understand whether the text concerns you. Thus it says: We know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD.
a) Then it is necessary that you truly love GOD.
b) For those who have a life called by GOD. Pay attention once again to the text. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to his purpose.” Here it is not listing pastors, missionaries, workers, deacons, etc., but rather all those who were called to salvation by CHRIST and accepted this invitation. Another important point. What is the reality of this promise? There is a purpose to the circumstances of our lives. Many or everyone in a moment of difficult ordeal may blurt out this phrase: Why LORD? We want to understand the purpose of this pain, this fight we are living. But the answer is in the text itself that says: “And we know that all things work together for good"... is it easy? No, it's not. No one is going to look at a loved one in a coffin and say: how good that is! Living terrible moments with cancer and also saying: this is good! We can clearly see here that not all things are good, but the promise in the verse is this: that all things work together for good. All things cooperate, work together for a specific purpose. What you don't understand now, you will understand later (John 3:7). burden or blessing in our eyes, they are all collaborating orchestratedly for the good of GOD's people! Are you part of GOD's people?
Know that there is great power in the circumstances that occur in our lives. All because it is GOD who controls all things.
So what are the results? Have you already understood who this promise applies to, and what the reason, result in your life is? Then it's time to decide how to respond to her.
a) We must trust completely in GOD’s promise, HE does not lie.
b) We must certainly rest in His providence.
Conclusion
Neither you nor I, we don't know what awaits us on the horizon of our lives. What an ordeal may come. We don't know, it's true, but we know one thing:
THAT ALL THINGS COOPERATE FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
Stand firm in GOD and live winning!
With love in CHRIST,
