A Mess for Good
by Max Lucado
Twenty years of marriage, three kids, and now he’s gone. Traded her in
for a younger model. She told me her story, and we prayed. Then I said,
“It won’t be painless or quick. But God will use this mess for good.
With God’s help you’ll get through this.”
Remember Joseph? Genesis 37:4 says
his brothers “hated him.” Far from home, they cast him into a pit,
leaving him for dead. A murderous cover-up from the get go. Pits have no
easy exit. Joseph’s story got worse before it got better. Yet in his
explanation we find his inspiration: “You meant evil against me,” he
said, “but God meant it for good..." The very acts intended to destroy
God’s servant, turned out to strengthen him.
The same will be said about you. You will get through this!
