Turning Evil into Good
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV) Bib
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:12 (KJV)
Flowers in spring are a symbol of faith, a reminder that even though you may be feeling out of sorts the earth is in order and on schedule. There are times when everyone goes through periods when their faith is low and hope seems futile. To all who hold on, God promises renewal and rebirth as surely as the daffodils return each spring.
Lord, when I struggle, give me the faith to believe.
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.—Genesis 50:20 (NIV) Bib
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.—Luke 6:38 (NIV)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
