God is all-powerful and all-knowing. He is in charge and control of  every situation. Nothing happens without His knowledge and He will not  allow any of His children to suffer without an active purpose of good.  We must always remember that God uses all things, situations and  circumstances to do us good (Romans 8:28).

We are safe in His hands. Our God is a good Father and our saviour is  a great shepherd. He jealously watches over us and will not even a  strand of our hair falls to the ground without His knowledge (Matthew  10:29-30).

Truly we may not see the big picture, we may not be even aware of  what God is doing but we can rest assured that He is on our side. Job  never knew how proud God was because of his loyalty and commitment. He  was not privy to the idea that God so much trusted him that He will not  fail.

One lesson I learned very recently is that whatever the devil does in  my life is part of God’s plans. As long as I have checked my life and  there is no breach in my relationship with God. If God has allowed it,  then it is for my good. Rather than whining or crying about it, I’d  rather praise God for it. That does not take away the fact that it may  hurt so badly, but God has everything under control.
