Romans 8:28 We Know That In All Things God Works ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jul 18, 2008 (message contributor)
Romans 8:28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him...
Sometimes we just want things to turn out well – especially in a bad situation.
Before Tom left for deployment to Iraq – he prayed that God will guide him in doing good in a land full of violence. Recently, his platoon was on patrol. A sniper opened fired, and Tom was hit and went down. His platoon mate managed to isolate the position of the sniper and counter attack. The sniper was badly injured.
Tom was the platoon medical orderly; he was saved by his bulletproof vest he was wearing. Tom went to look at the badly injured sniper who had seconds ago tried to kill him. Tom pray for wisdom and strength and – with everyone looking – Tom bandaged that man who tried to kill him and helped bring him to the aid post for further medical attention.
