#97Deal withSituational Problems _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 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 (Rom.8:28)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the early 1970's, Holmes and Rahe developed a chart assigning "life change units" to various situational changes and problems (death of realtive, illness, retirement, financial problems, job changes, change in residence, etc.) They found that an accumulation of 200 or more units in a single year results in a significant increase in psychiatric problems (such as depression). This verse can be a termendous comfort to God's children when they are going through situational problems. God promises to make all of our situational problems work together for good in the long run. This does not mean that God directs all of our situational problems, as some Christians erroneously suppose. God may direct some of them, and we can be assured that no situational problem comes our way without God's permitting it. Moreover, no situational problem will ever come our way without God's being intimately involved in our lives. In every situational problem, whether God directs it or permits it, God will teach us lessons that will benefit us greatly in the long run. Christians bring a great many situational problems on themselves, either consciously or subconsciously, but God will make even our self-imposed situational problems work together for good.
