We've all gone through difficult experiences. We've all had moments when we've wondered "Why is this happening to me?" It seems to be part of the human experience. Scripture is full of stories of people who faced adversity and difficult circumstances only to later find that God redeemed their hurt, pain and frustration. No story better illustrates this point than the story of Joseph from the Old Testament book of Genesis.
The complaint list that Joseph could have brought before God was lengthy. It included things like nearly being killed, being sold into slavery, allegations of rape and being confined to prison. Key to Joseph's ability to see God's redemption come to fruition in his life were three key understandings:
1. God sees everything that happens to me and He cares.
2. God has given everybody a free will.
3. God is in ultimate control of the final outcome.
Do you believe these three things? How would it impact your life if you took these three key understandings to heart?
May God redeem all of your past hurts and pain. May God work together all things for your good. May God take what others have meant for harm and use them for his purposes in your life.
