Meant for Good?
Romans 8:28 states plainly the theological point that (Old Testament) Joseph first said (Genesis 50) - reflecting on his experience of life's hardships, including (in his case) grave injustice and wrongful oppression. All things work together for the good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. But even what sinful human beings may inflict? Even undeserved suffering? How is this "good"?
Perhaps you, like me, see these points in Scripture, but still . . . wonder.
As we walk in the shoes of Joseph and Moses, godly people who were real and authentic in expressing their pain, we perhaps can learn from and take solace in the character of God and the walk with God that they found, albeit through uneasy paths. Growth in God's ways is always beneficial, but often not easy and often counterintuitive.
