For good…
Gensis50: 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
John 11:4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I have to admit that there are events in our lives that don’t feel so good and I don’t feel or see how they can be for my good…sickness, death, etc, etc, etc….they are not good in my scheme of things…but, God has such a higher purpose and I have to go with it…it just is for good….and this side of heaven, I may never know what the purpose was for…except for faith building…sometimes we can see the answers , but it seems like most of the time, we don’t…
Several years ago, one of our friends was fired from his ministry…it was heart breaking, he was excellent at the job, but due to personality conflict and other issues, his job was terminated for him…heartbreak, confusion, etc reigned…as months went by with prayer and expectation….a better ministry evolved and he enjoyed a dream come true until he retired…that conflict turned into a “for good” a gift from God, an opportunity that would only could be reached by the route that God orchestrated…
That event was such a picture personally, that when I witness a hard time, I ask now, what good is coming out of this event…what is God doing “for good”?….i may never know, but there is the expectation of God’s glory being shown!….
Thank YOU….
To God be the glory…
