King James Version (KJV)

Luke 24:6
King James Version
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

     There are so many times in the Bible where the Lord  emphasizes trusting Him.  When we view life as being over because of so many catastrophies and trials, we are not seeing things correctly.  There is a bigger picture, which our loving Heavenly Father knows all about.

     When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane,  He was asking God to take away the cup of suffering.   He went on, though, to state that He was leaving His life in the Father’s hands [Luke 22:42-44].  He knew that God’s will was the best; He trusted Him.

     I wanted to encourage everyone that what might have been intended by others or the Enemy as evil, God is meaning it for good in our lives.  If we can remember, Joseph faced the terrible incident of being betrayed by his brothers.  When he revealed himself in Egypt as being their brother, it was evidence that God used the betrayal to help the Israelites.  I believe Corrie Ten Boom compared life as viewing a tapestry from the backside.  It has a bunch of rough areas that don’t resemble a picture.  From the other side, it is a gorgeous picture.  Just like the angel told the graveside visitors, Jesus had risen as promised.  Our lives are not over, and we will experience our own resurrections!
