TONIGHT's Topic: "Blessings In Disguise!"
We all go through times in our lives and events when not even Murphy could have imagined all that went wrong, and at the wrong time. It is no secret that Romans 8:28 is NOT my favorite verse in the Bible, because "all" and "good" don't belong in the same sentence, let alone in the same verse. I have also been through several "trying" times and experiences in my life, including my recent odyssey with skin cancer surgery, but sometimes there IS a "silver lining", a "blessing in disguise".
We are not alone in our experiences: Joseph was sold as a slave in Egypt by his jealous brothers , but he rose from slavery to be the second most powerful man in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. A horrific act turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. (Genesis 45:3-8)
Have you experienced something bad that turned out to be a "blessing in disguise"?

"Blessings in disguise" are often connected to "unanswered prayers" for me. It's taken me a long time to just leave it in God's hands (mostly)
