"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for
good ..." Genesis 50:20
Reflection:
Things happen. Some of those things we interpret as "bad
things." We often pin the blame on the devil and complain that
we are "under attack." Whether or not that is the case, we
must not lose sight of the fact that, whatever it is, God means it
for our good. God has a way of turning our loss into gain, tragedy
into triumph, defeat into victory, mourning into dancing. He is not
taken by surprise when something doesn't go as we planned or
expected. He doesn't wring his hands wondering, "What are we
going to do now?" He is working all things together for our
good.
Difficulties many come our way;
Trials and tears beset our day.
Frustrations, fears, or come what may.
Trusting Him is where we'll stay.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us to see that you are always at work in our
lives. Help us to see that the roadblocks and detours along the way
are just you redirecting our lives. When things come our way that we
don't understand, may we never cease to trust you. Though we may not
know where the next step will take us, may we, in faith, hold your
hand in the confidence that you know where we are going. Amen.
