Even when our temporary situation may seem like an impossible obstacle – where no good can arise – God knows exactly how each of our lives can be used to bring good out of the ashes. What the world means for evil, God can use for good (Genesis 50:20). And we choose to praise God even in the bad times, as our weakness in the trials and calamities allows Him to strengthen us (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, James 1:2-4).
