“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. (Genesis 50:20 NKJV)
Everything happens for good reasons. We are taught to see the good in all things. God lets us experience painful and unfortunate events, not because He wants us to suffer. In upholding our service to Him, we experience different pains. We might lose our loved ones; we might suffer sickness; we may lose our valuable belongings; we may be hurt by other people, even by those we love; and, we may experience infidelity and deception. Should we experience any among these things, let us always remember that all things work together for the good of those who love God. We are like metal that becomes stronger with every strike. God wants us to be battle-hardened. He does not want you to be a quitter. He wants you to be a champion. He is putting you through different trials, even those you would have never imagined you would be going through, because He is preparing you. Yes, He wants you to be prepared for that time you will be receiving a glory far, far greater than what you thought you deserve. All you need is to trust Him along the process. Do not doubt Him even for a moment. He entrusts you with the hardest task because God knows you are the only one who can overcome it.
