GENESIS 50:20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
LIVING IN A BROKEN WORLD can sometimes create spiritual skeptics in our lives, especially when we see human failure mirrored in the lives of those whom we have put on pedestals, considering them to be a cut above the ordinary. When you are disappointed you wonder, "Is there anyone who really lives out the life of Christ, instead of simply using a Christian vocabulary?"
God uses human failure whether it is the failure of fellow christians who negatively impact your life or the failures of those living on the other sides of the cross to accomplish what He wants done in your life.
God is sovereign. He is in control, and everything that happens to you is not a matter of chance but something that God allows. Why? To show you His strength, His hand of protection, His provision in ways that would not have happened had you not been a victim of someone's wrong doing.
From the beginning of time God has chosen to walk with His Own through a corrupted sinful world, promising to be with them as they go through the dark valley but never promising to deliver them from the impact of all wrong to this world.
If you could only see the center picture of how God's strong hand is resting on your life, sustaining you, showing you that you will never be in a pit deeper?
than His hand can reach, how difficult our attitude would be when unpleasant things happen to us. Only through difficulty do we learn what God told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness" 2(Corinthians12:9).
