Bad to Best

Sometimes, the worst situations can turn out to be the greatest things to ever happen. Yes, you read that right. In a word that sentence can mean redemption. Granted, it's tough to realize when situations are bad. Yet, God does His greatest work when we're uncomfortable, undone, and unsure of what will happen next. Perhaps you can recall a time in your life when God showed up after all hope was lost.

When He appeared distant, He was actually close.

Is God really able to redeem bad situations and make them the best things to ever happen? How can we be sure of this?

Dive into the Bible and you’ll encounter countless stories about God working in and working through bad situations for His glory. Remember the cross, too. The worst situation ever – crucifying Jesus Christ, the Son of God – would actually become the best thing to ever happen in the history of the world. Because Jesus paid for the penalty of our sins through His death and resurrection, we have access to a personal relationship with the God of the Universe. That's redemption!

God invites you to surrender your bad situation to Him. Trust that He can use it as a turning point in your story to draw you closer to Him. Change may take a while. But God loves a comeback story.
