vs Rom 8:28 Lets stop grumbling and complaining in the little things that we so often do. Our attitudes and perspective need to constantly be in check. Remember that God works ALL things to a Christians good. It’s easy to not pay attention to the little things when relating this verse but be mindful that our lives are made up mostly of the little things.
