You Did That On Purpose!

Ever since Adam and Eve ate from "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil," bad things have been happening--even to good people--and even good people do very bad things.!  But God can make goods things come out of bad situations.  For instance:  What Joseph's brothers meant for evil, God turned into good, Moses killed a man, David had a man purposely killed so he could have his wife, and Paul purposely sought out Christians to kill before his conversion.  Yet God used Moses to save a nation, David to be the King of Israel, and Paul to be the greatest Apostle.

 The "key" is found in Romans 8:28.  To those He has set aside for His purposes, He will see that His Plan is carried out.  He put His DESIGN on these people; they were His vessels to be used as He saw fit.  However, they became "marred" (flawed; damaged).  Therefore, He made them again!  [See:  Jeremiah 18:1-5]

All He required of them, after they had done such bad deeds, was to repent, confess their sins--to turn away from satan's plan and turn towards Him and fulfill the purpose they were designed and designated to complete.

YOU ONLY FAIL WHEN YOU FAIL TO TRY!!!  Don't quit!  Get back up....look up....and go forward in faith--believing He has "called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!"  You may be in a "dark place," but know this:  His Word is a lamp to your feet and He will lighten up your path.  Just get up and go on with Him!  He has a PLAN and a PURPOSE for your life.
