Good Can Come From This

Good Can Come From This How often have we asked, “Can anything good come out of this?” Our human unconvinced mind would skeptically respond, “Let’s wait and see.” But how would a faithful heart respond? “Come and see!” Assurances come when we see with clarity a resolution, an expected response, or an intelligent explanation. We can easily agree after we’ve relied on seeing a tangible answer. “It turned out okay this time. But you can never be too sure.” After a proven solution to a problem, the post-healing of a child, or a promotion already enjoyed are not the results of acts of faith, but rather conditional trust and provisional thinking. A faithful heart would have confidence that good can come from any circumstance because it believed in the love of God. Even if the response we are humanly looking for is not in harmony with our own desires, our faith drives us to push away earthly thinking and move toward divine reasoning. With faith, move through the activities of your day with trust that the Lord, God, knows what you need. “Can anything good come out of this?” “Oh yes! Come and let’s see together!”
