Every Crooked Path Made Straight!!
Whatever you are facing today, man may not be able to fix, but God is able to make a way where there seem to be no way. God is able to make every crooked path straight.
Time after time, the Bible records hopeless situations that ultimately ended in victory. In your situation, God is able to reverse evil and turn it to good. God is able to make what's wrong right. God is able to open every closed doors. God is able to make every crooked path straight. He is able to open your "Red Sea." He is able to make a way where there seem to be no way.
Think of Job's sickness, David's adultery, and the many who were healed in mind, body, and spirit. But Joseph told them, “…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”
Genesis 50:20 "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"
God is able to make all things right. No matter how hopeless or futile a situation may be. If we understand this scripture we understand that God is able to take even the worst details of the worst situation and turn it into abounding grace.
The Bible is filled with stories that confirm this and should give us cause to rest in God's hands. My favorite story is that of Joseph. Here is a man who was sold into slavery by his brothers, through faithful service was placed in a position of authority in the house of ###, wrongly accused by ###'s wife and thrown into prison. Forgotten in prison, then finally brought before Pharaoh and made second in command of all of ###.
Through all this, God's sovereign plan was to provide a way of deliverance for Israel during the time of famine. And Joseph recognized this. His words to his brothers reveal this as he tells them, "What you meant for evil, God meant for good."
At this very moment you may be going through hard times in your marriage. Your spouse coming against you. Your spouse of ###, ###, ###, or more years who is unrecognizable. A spouse who made a vow, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death.. A spouse who no longer wants to be marriage. Talk about unfair treatment.
Joseph is one of the true heroes of the faith. He was treated very unfairly and unkindly by his brothers. Although evil was done against Joseph, God turned his situation around for the saving of lives.
Even while you go through this situation in your marriage, God will turn it around for your good. If you are struggling to see God's hand in your life, be encouraged. Joseph had his fair share of challenges, too. In the end, it became evident that through all the challenges and less than desirable circumstances Joseph faced, God was working to fulfill His purposes. What was meant for evil, God turned around for good.
God develops us on a progressive basis. There are times I have wished He would speed up the process in healing and restoring marriages; but I have come to rest and trust in His timing. Now I ask Him to give us the grace to accomplish His destiny for our lives, no matter how long it takes! Wait my friends, wait and put your confidence in the Lord.
God intended and planned for this to happen, because God is in control of ALL things. God is sovereign over ALL things. And in times of trial, this gives us great reason to trust God during trying circumstances.
No matter what's your circumstances, no matter how difficult and painful, there is a way to look "through" the problems and "see God." What was meant for evil in your situation, God will make good.
Believe this.
"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." (Romans 8:28)
Have a blessed weekend.
