“At the risk of trivializing the hope of Romans 8:28, I want you to
think about making a chocolate cake. You begin with bitter chocolate.
Then you stir in some dry, tasteless flour. Next come raw eggs and some
sour milk. When you thoroughly mix these and several more ingredients
and bake the batter in a hot oven, then end result is a lovely chocolate
cake.
Now think about your life-the bitter, the dry, the raw, the sour, the heat. In God's hands, these things will result in something good. The hope of Romans 8:28 is that, in God's hands, the ingredients of our lives will always work out for our good and His eternal purposes. Let this promise encourage you the next time you are facing the bitterness, the sourness, or the heat of life. Know that God is in control."
