It Had to Get This Bad

Things are getting bad, and our natural tendency is to focus on everything that seems to be going wrong, but that perspective is shaped by our limited understanding and the condition of our nature. What we often interpret as things falling apart may actually be the very conditions God allows to bring about something far greater, because it is in those moments of pressure and distress that we are given the opportunity to watch Him step in, respond, and do what only He can do. So as difficult as things may seem right now, there is a much bigger picture unfolding, and what feels like the worst moment could very well be the setup for something far greater than we ever expected.
