It's all Good

And 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

A couple of days ago I told you I twisted my ankle on a hike in the Smokies. I have taken a couple of awesome hikes since then - today to Rainbow Falls shown above.

The hike was very strenuous going up as we climbed about 1,500 feet in 2.7 miles. The way down was obviously much easier - however that is when a lot of injuries happen as we have a tendency to lose our focus.

On my way down today, I was thinking frequently about my ankle sprain from earlier in the week and was much more cautious than normal. I also thought that this was a way God was using a bad thing (my injured ankle earlier in the week) and making it good (helping me to be more cautious and possibly preventing a serious injury today).

Pretty cool!

This same thing can be used in our work lives as well. Think about a seemingly bad thing going on right now. God promises us He will use that for good.
