Scripture Text: Genesis 50:20, Genesis 50:15-21
But God…
But God Meant It For Good
Genesis 50:20, Genesis 50:15-21
The fact is, God is involved in every aspect of human activity, and throughout all of human history and throughout all of time.
However, all things are in the hands of God who can turn the bad around into good.
A bad situation, or a undesirable set of circumstances are not always a bad thing when you are in the hands of God.
He understood, as few do, that the events that happened to him, as terrible as they were, that God’s hand had been in it all the time.
If we were hidden from the consequences to sin, we would live in illusionary world, we would have the mistaken impression that we were fine with God and there would be no remorse or repentance.
We all have learned by experience, and some experiences have been painful, but when we look back on it all, we can clearly see the hand of God at work in our lives, building Christian maturity, sensitivity, patience, and hope.
Some of us will suffer precisely because we are a Christian.
For many things, we may not understand this side of Glory, but we know all things rest in His hands, including all of us who truly belong to Him.
