“I love it when a plan comes together!” All’s well that ends well! I love a happy ending to a good story. These are great ways to end any life story; but the Apostle Paul does not live by that way of thinking. He was told by the Lord how much that he would suffer throughout his life and Paul suffered to the death. After being released in Rome “house arrest”, Paul was finally executed by Nero. This was all in God’s wonderful plan of All Things Work Together For Good.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
