Day 4- He Can Turn Lemons into Lemonade

Believe it or not, God can take the worst of circumstances and can work them out for your good.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:
But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
(Gen 50:20)

Alternate SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
(Rom 8:28)

There is no need to fear what man can do to us, and even what life can do to us. The worst that man or life can dish out is no match for our Heavenly Father. He knows how to take harmful circumstances and turn them around for our good.

What is interesting in the above two verses is that God isn't promising that He will turn all of our weeds into roses. What He promises is to use the weeds to accomplish a good purpose. Sometimes this will be a purpose that is not obvious, and that is why it is important for us to trust God and to walk by faith and not by sight.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
(2Co 4:16-18)

Have you been excited about what God is doing in you and through you lately? We have the privledge of reigning over our circumstances in Christ, and not living under them.

Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
