Sermon Summary
Bernard Fell preaches about the assurance that all things work together for good for those who love God, emphasizing how God weaves both good and challenging experiences in our lives to fulfill His will and create a beautiful pattern. He uses analogies like a surgeon's knife saving a life, head-winds guiding a ship to port, and heavy weights in a clock making it chime to illustrate God's transformative work in our lives. The sermon highlights how God's love and justice intersect at the cross, turning brokenness into blessedness and bitterness into sweetness, ultimately bringing out the best for His children from seemingly difficult situations.
God's Prerogative - Rom. 8:28
We know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Romans 8:28 All things must ever work for good To those who love the Lord, Who blends from life's discordant notes, One sweet, harmonious chord. As shuttles fly He takes all threads, And weaves with good and ill, The ordered texture of our lives, The pattern of His will. The sick may oft recoil with fear To feel the surgeon's knife; The skilful hand that guides the blade Can save a precious life. When o'er life's ocean head-winds rage, The mind is oft distraught; The same opposing force can drive, By means of tacks, to port. Look at the tall grandfather clock, When pressed with dismal woe; It is the heavy weights within That make it chime and go! Behold with wonder Calv'ry's cross, Where love and justice meet: From brokenness comes blessedness, From bitterness comes sweet. It is God's wise prerogative, For His dear children now, To bring out good from seeming ill, The very best endow.
