God Is Behind It All

Some things can really be painful and hurting. We sometimes know for sure that we don't deserve the pain we are going through. This can really be painful and hurting when you know that you have always played according to the book. What about when you are being blamed for something you did not do or you are wrongly accused for other people's mistakes? My friends we all know that life can sometimes be painful or should I say unfair. We loose people we love due to some reckless mistakes of people we don't even know. We experience economic hardships because of a politician who decide to make a decision that suits him than the nation. In the midst of all pain you have experienced in your life, I am urging you to reflect back where you come from. You might release that some of the doors that were closed on your face worked for your benefit. Not all that we consider bad, hurting or painful is that bad. Today make a choice to look for something positive out of that bad situation. It might be death, divorce, retrenchment or what you consider back luck, there is something positive out of that painful situation.

Listen to what Joseph is saying to his brothers _“Come closer to me,” Joseph said to his brothers. They came closer. “I am Joseph your brother whom you sold into Egypt. But don’t feel badly, don’t blame yourselves for selling me. God was behind it. God sent me here ahead of you to save lives. There has been a famine in the land now for two years; the famine will continue for five more years—neither plowing nor harvesting. God sent me on ahead to pave the way and make sure there was a remnant in the land, to save your lives in an amazing act of deliverance. So you see, it wasn’t you who sent me here but God. He set me in place as a father to Pharaoh, put me in charge of his personal affairs, and made me ruler of all Egypt.

Genesis 45:4‭-‬8 MSG

There are lots of what we consider bad things happening around us daily. In some cases we have lost what we thought it was the best deals, great opportunities, great moves, but like Joseph said "God knew and he is doing it to provide for the need we don't see as yet". The pieces on the puzzle will come together and when you move a distance you will and understand why certain things happened the way they did. Will you still chose to trust Him, even when things don't make sense to you? Will you still admit that He loves you, when you loose your job, or someone dear to you? We experience His love even in the midst of pain. I hope someone find something to hold on to from this message
