Even Bad Situations Are Used For God’s Glory!
Many of us know the story of Samson whether you are a devoted church member or a holiday attender chances are you have heard of Samson. Samson was big and strong yet his lustful eye caused him to desire women that he should have stayed away from. However in my devotional reading I was once again knocked off guard by something I had never noticed before. Judges 14:3-4 ” His father and mother asked him, “Aren’t there any women among our relatives or all our people? Do you have to marry a woman from those godless Philistines?” But Samson told his father, “Get her for me! She’s the one I want!” His father and mother didn’t know that the Lord was behind this. The Lord was looking for an opportunity to do something to the Philistines. (At that time the Philistines were ruling Israel.)”
Now when I think about how messed up Samson was by giving away the secrets of his strength to a pagan woman yet God was working something out! No matter what we mess up God has a plan to use it for the good of His people! I am amazed at all the things God has used in my life and I know that He is not done. Our God is constantly working things out behind the scene so stay encouraged regardless of the situation you find yourself in knowing that God has a plan!
