Recycling

God takes what satan means for evil and recycles it for something good.

In the past ten years, I’ve always tried to be diligent about recycling. I find it amazing that they can take used plastic, glass, and other materials and turn them into something useable.

Recycling didn’t just start ten years ago. Generations, long before this one, man has been recycling. They had to. They didn’t have the means or the ingenuity to recycle their own products. They just re-used what they had.

I think of myself as a recycled Christian. There have been many times in my life where things happen, that I didn’t understand. How could this happen to me, I’m a Christian, after all? But, hindsight is our best teacher.

Two years ago, when my life was just cruising along, satan threw a road block in my path. I was devastated, to the point of brokenness.

But, I stayed close to God, trusting Him to bring me to the other side of this adversity.

And, thank God, He did just that. He recycled the tragedy into something wonderful today.

God never gives up on His children.

Let God take care of the recycling. He’s been doing it since the beginning of time.

God will take what satan means for evil, and turn it for good.

Jeremiah 29:11 - “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
