Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be glorified in my heart and through my life today. …
“Even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good, in order to preserve a numerous people, as He is doing today” (Genesis 50:20).
You are the turn-around God. You turn all things around for good if we will entrust them to You. What people intend for harm, You will use for good. What the devil intends for evil, You will use for good. Even the heartaches and sufferings, the sins and failures of our broken lives, You will cleanse in Your blood, refine in Your fire, and shape with Your hands to create beauty from the ashes and treasure from the trash.
That’s all part of how You cause all things to work together for good, if we’ll humble ourselves to call upon Your name and entrust all things to Your care (Romans 8:28). You don’t will all things—You never will the sin, the evil, the injustices, the cruelties of this broken and fallen world, suffering under the oppression and rage of the one You called “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31). But You will use all things—even using the very injustices and sufferings we endure to prepare us and purify us to rule and reign with You as “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation” in Christ (1 Peter 2:9). That’s part of how Your conform us to the nature of the kingdom of God, as Your kingdom comes in us and Your will is done through us, that kingdoms of this world may become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (Revelation 11:15).
Turn-around God, turn around my life. Turn around my heart, my attitude, my perspective from everything that’s anything less than all You intend for me. Keep turning me away for the world, the flesh, and the devil and keep turning me to You, every moment of every day. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
