This verse can bring confusion when we don’t understand the meaning of that word – GOOD- in this scripture. Our initial thoughts tend to define “good” as, “something to be desired or approved of.” I know that I would never use that definition to describe some of the seasons or circumstances I have found myself in, or see other people walk through on a daily basis. We have all found ourselves in circumstances that are nothing close to being our desire, and most certainly do not get our stamp of approval. But in this verse the word – good – speaks more to our welfare , or well-being. In this passage, GOOD refers to holiness, faith, or sanctification. I want to encourage you that even though it may be difficult to see God’s purposes in your circumstances, your sanctification and salvation are on His heart and mind in ALL things. And THAT.IS.GOOD.
