[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] The Most High's Purpose by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

No moment, event, or detail falls outside of God’s supervision. God is the
one who “causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on
the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matthew 5:45 NIV). He isn’t making up
this plan as he goes along. Daniel 5:21 says, “The most High God rules the
kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will.” So if God is in charge, why
does he permit challenges to come our way? Wouldn’t an almighty God prevent
them? Not if they serve his higher purpose. The ultimate example is the
death of Christ on the cross. Everyone thought the life of Jesus was over.
Jesus was dead and buried, but God raised him from the dead. God took the
crucifixion of Friday and turned it into the celebration of Sunday. Can he
not do a similar reversal for you?
