The Good in Seeming Wrong

How do somewhat evil things achieve God’s purposes? How do even seemingly very bad things work out God’s ultimate good intentions? God says the thoughts I have towards you, are of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Again we know that every good and perfect gift comes from God! But it doesn’t say ONLY Good and perfect gifts comes from God! However, we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according unto His purpose.

When David was left (behind) to tend for his father’s animal farm, it seemed he had that task simply because he was the last child of the family of Jesse but to God, the very thing which made him always left behind to cater for his father’s flock, became the fact that stood him out! How? By tendering to the sheep, he inculcated the skills and the heart of a leader! Do not complain about the things that your background (family, parents, states; etc.) makes you or exposes you to God is in the business of your predicament to become your advancement.

It is right that God does not look at the appearance of man but at his heart. This is good news! You can become all God wants you to become irrespective of who or what you look like. Your height, your complexion; your handicap etc. worry, if you must, about the quality of your heart or mind not about your physical appearance/disability. Don’t you worry about your present socio-economic status but let your mind consume the right piece of information, and with time, if you persist, your outward realities will conform to your thinking!

Understand this: God’s wisdom guides us even by the most unlikely events. It’s not always the case that “bad news” comes from the Devil! God can “cause” seemingly “evil/bad” in order to make way for his greater Good and perfect purposes! If this were not true, then Jesus would not have died! God gave over his son; putting him through the cross that Christ might become the saviour of the World!

Job was tested so that God may prove a point! Jesus was lead into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil! Saul was inflicted by “an evil spirit from the Lord” So that David could become the man to play his harp and sooth the Kings melody! God uses the unfavourable to get you to the favourable! So trust his wisdom and do not despair. Oh! That the Lord will teach us the wisdom behind the wisdom of His guidance! Amen!
