I hope that you enjoy Max Lucado's writings as much as I do. This one he write about 'God Happens' and how God can make good out of evil things which happen to us and around us. I think most of us agree with that. But generally it doesn't happen as fast as we would like!


GOOD HAPPENS

"It's the repeated pattern in Scripture. Evil. God. Good. Evil came to Job. It tempted him and tested him. Job struggled. But God countered. He spoke truth and declared sovereignty. Job, in the end chose God. Satan's prime target became God's star witness and good resulted.

"Evil came to David and he committed adultery. Evil came to Daniel and he as dragged to a foreign land. Evil came to Nehemiah and the walls of Jerusalem were destroyed. But God countered. Because He did, David wrote songs of grace, Daniel ruled in a foreign land, and Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem with Babylonian money. Good happened.

"With Jesus, bad became good like night becomes day---regularly, reliably, refreshingly, and redemptively. Evil. God. Good. When God gets in the middle of life---evil becomes good!
