“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
Every problem in your life has a purpose; there’s meaning in the mess of it all.
When you’re in the middle of a difficulty, it’s hard to see its purpose. But hindsight is 20/20—so when you look back at a problem after you’ve gotten through it, you often can see what God was doing.
In the 1980s and ’90s, there was a TV show called MacGyver. It was fun to watch because MacGyver could make something out of nothing. He’d gather bailing wire, chewing gum, and acetone, and suddenly he’d have built a whole rocket ship. He could use anything—even the everyday, ordinary things around him—for his own purposes.
Let me tell you—God is so much better than MacGyver! He can take everything in your life—the good stuff, the bad stuff, the hurtful stuff, the bizarre stuff—and use it for good.
Remember, God doesn’t cause your problems.
