Week 7: Evil Into Good: God’s Promise Through Joseph
Is there a purpose to all this? Life’s circumstances feel overwhelming. Maybe family or friends are sick, hurting, unemployed, or depressed. All you see is chaos, and you want to cry out, “I can’t take anymore!” In these times, we can question whether God is still present. We can wonder if he has lost his power. We need to be reminded that he is still here. He still cares. The universe has not spiraled out of control. Because of him, the water stays wet and the rocks remain firm. The laws of gravity and thermodynamics haven’t changed. With his hand at the helm, spring still follows winter and winter follows autumn. There is an order to the universe. He sustains everything. Even more, he uses everything. No moment, event or detail falls outside of his supervision. He stands before the universe as a symphony conductor stands before the orchestra, calling forth the elements to play their part in the divine reprise. He carries us through difficulties and promises to work things out for good.
