From the Pastor's Desk:
Life is filled with a lot of "oops" and "oh me" and "oh my" moments. We live in a fallen world which is the domain of Satan. Evil and horrible things happen. Bad things happen to good people ... and good things happen to bad people. That is just the way it is. Sometimes we make bad choices which cause the "oops" moments. And sometimes accidents just happen.
But God has assured us that nothing takes Him by surprise. He is divine and He is sovereign. He knows all things. And at the same time, He has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. In addition, since God is all-powerful He promises to use for good everything that happens in our lives. That means God can, and does, allow things to happen to us in order to accomplish His perfect will for us.
So, the next time you experience an "oops" or have an "oh my" moment, remember God's promise ... it will all work out for His (and our) good!
