God Is In Control - 1 Corinthians 13:12

It is 100 percent true that God is good and that He is in control. These facts, however, do not prevent bad things from happening.Though it's within the Lord's power to give everyone a perfect existence, that wouldn't be in our best interest. Trials and suffering often drive people to the Lord. And for those of us who are already His followers, God uses harsh circumstances to mature our faith and conform us to the image of His Son. To be made perfect and pleasing to our Father is indeed in our best interest.

In His omniscience and wisdom, God will allow disaster and evil to touch our lives so we can grow from the experience. If we could peek behind the scenes of our life, we'd see the Lord in control and working toward His ultimate purpose for us.

Romans 8:28 affirms this: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." On occasion, we see immediate positive results from trials. But other times, we must wait months or years to fully understand what God was doing in those difficult circumstances.

When He permits bad things to happen, we can be sure that He will continue to provide comfort and guidance, even as He shapes us into the people He wants us to be.
