```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE (DDMM)```
♦ *TOPIC: IT IS ALL FOR YOUR GOOD - HE HAS YOU IN MIND*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*
Romans 8:28 And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Joseph was not in Egypt by choice, and he had no idea how God was working. The head jailer put Joseph in charge of the other prisoners (Genesis 39:21-23). Now, that’s not exactly something you would brag about—“ Got the promotion! I’m head prisoner in the jail!”—but the diligence and excellence he displayed there ended up being critical not only in his life, but for the lives of many others as well.
Think of Jesus as he hung on the cross. Beaten, bloody, and dying in agony—it doesn’t get much worse than that. It was the greatest evil in world history, but God used it to accomplish the greatest good for all mankind.
When Jesus was at His lowest point, He was right in the very heart of God’s plan for world redemption. And when He rose from the dead, He opened the way to eternal life for all who believe.
So if you are suffering right now; if you are in the middle of a unexplainable circumstance that makes you feel like God has forgotten you, take heart. You are in the very hands of a loving God, and you cannot yet see how He will redeem this period in your life. But He is using this period in your life to make you
more like his Son.
God is not content to merely balance out evil. He does not simply counteract darkness and suffering. What Joseph’s brothers did to him was evil, but it led directly to his ability to save the lives of many people.
Notice one very important thing about what the suffering of Jesus tells us: In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, He enters into death itself and transforms it making it no longer the end but now the door to eternal life and abundant joy.
The greater the evil, the greater the transformation God will accomplish. Look at pauls writing, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18)".
Someone may say, "well, He has just forgotten about me, I don't even know if He cares that I am alive or not" but I want you to know that He has you in mind and that you're still alive is a clear proof that He has you in mind.
*Insights For Today, Everything that you go through in life were all meant to walk and work together for your good whether they are good or seemingly bad.*
*_Prayer Point: Father, I make demand for your grace and strength, help me to stand strong in you through it all in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
DAILY BIBLE READING PLAN: Psalm 93 and Rom 2
