This is Max Locato. Life turns every person upside down. No one escapes unscathed. Not the woman

who discovers her husband is having an affair. Not the businessman whose investments are

embezzled by a crooked colleague. Not the pastor who feels his faith shaken by questions of

suffering and fear. We'd be foolish to think we're

invulnerable, but would be just as foolish to think that evil wins the day. The Bible vibrates

with the steady drumbeat of faith. God recycles evil into righteousness. Joseph, saddled with

family rejection, slavery, and imprisonment, emerged triumphant,

a hero of his generation. Among his final words to his brothers are these. You meant evil against me,

but God meant it for good. It's the repeated pattern in scripture, evil, God, good.

Trust God. God will make good out of this mess.
