God Intended it for Good

All the major media outlets were riveted to Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s opening statement defending himself against the charge of sexual misconduct 36 years ago. Mixed in with his emotional defense Kavanaugh gave witness to his personal faith and testimony about God. There was no time limit put on Kavanaugh’s opening statement. There were no interruptions from the committee members or protesters, and no media outlets cutting-away for a commercial break. Who could have ever imagined that Kavanaugh’s devastating experience actually gave the Lord the opportunity for an uninterrupted platform on liberal media sites. While the Democrats have used this hearing to harm, delay and deny Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court, I’m reminded of Joseph forgiving his brothers for selling him into slavery. “But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them” (Gen 50:19-21 NIV).
