02.28.10 Lies Masquerading as Truth: Everything that Happens Is God's Will

Everything That Happens is God’s Will

Lies Masquerading As Truth

As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2 “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”

“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. John 9:2-3

Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:20-22

“Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing.”

Galatians 3:13

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:1-3

Heaven is where God’s will is perfectly carried out. And in heaven there is no sin, no disease and no brokenness.

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Romans 8:28 NIV

The power of God does not lie in protecting you from failure, frustration, tragedy, or death; the power of God lies in taking the worst life can do to us and transforming it into a new, deeper, and more profound reality.”

James Crawford

“God specializes in bringing good out of bad. He uses problems to inspect us, direct us, correct us, perfect us and even protect us.”

Rick Warren

Even when I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff

protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me

in the presence of my enemies.

Psalm 23
