"Good from Evil"
Scripture Reading:
Romans 8:28 (HCSB) We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.

Devotional Reading:
Could there possibly be a more vivid example of evil than Adolph Hitler and his effort to exterminate the Jews? Yet, God was able to bring good from Hitler's horrific evil. Because of the world's reaction to this horror, the nation of Israel was reborn after not existing for almost 2,000 years. Once again, the Jews had the permanent homeland God had promised their forefathers thousands of years before. But, there is actually an even greater example of God taking evil and using it as a means of great good. That would be the story of the cross. Each one of us, because of our sinful nature, is responsible for murdering the innocent Son of God. This was truly the most evil act in all history. Yet, God took our evil and turned it into the greatest act of good. He did this by offering us salvation and forgiveness of sin. He used this great evil to offer us a relationship, a oneness, and a reconciliation with Himself. The cross gives us hope that no matter what evil we have done, or what evil others have done to us, God has the ability to turn evil into good and to accomplish His intended purposes. Think in oyur life, what has others or the world intended for evil, which God intended for God?
