What if everything we experience in life—every trial, every joy, every challenge—is part of a seamless divine plan that stretches from before time began into eternity? This week Don Mitchell takes us to Romans 8:28-30, often called the 'golden chain of redemption,' revealing that when Scripture says 'all things work together for good,' it's not promising us comfortable lives or material prosperity. Instead, it's describing God's magnificent redemptive plan that begins with His foreknowledge before creation and culminates in our glorification. We discover that salvation isn't just a moment of decision, but a continuous journey through calling, justification, sanctification, and ultimately glorification. This understanding transforms how we view our daily struggles: they're not random hardships but purposeful preparation, chasing us toward heaven and growing us in holiness.
