Circumstances

Circumstances

Circumstances are difficult right now; is God controlling them?

God’s Response

The LORD does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. Psalm 135:6

I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things. Isaiah 45:7

As far as I am concerned, God turned into good what you meant for evil. Genesis 50:20

God is in total control of your circumstances; he can change them at any time in any way. But he also makes it clear that we live in a sinful world in which he has allowed Satan to have a certain degree of control for a while. In the spiritual battle God sometimes allows evil to have the upper hand. But he also promises us a twofold victory. First, God loves to bring good out of bad circumstances if you remain on his side. Second, God promises ultimate and total victory over Satan and all evil when this world ends and God establishes his perfect Kingdom. This gives hope in your present life, and for eternity.

God’s Promise

We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28
