A Christian man lost his job due to company downsizing. He and his wife interpreted Rom 8:28 (“All things work together for good”) to mean that he lost his job so that God might give him a better-paying one. Consequently, he turned down several lower-or-equal paying job opportunities and remained on unemployment for over two years before returning to work. Do you agree with his way of interpreting this verse? Why or why not?
