Which doesn't mean it isn't completely true. Last night, a "natural evil" occurred to a missionary I know: His house burned to the ground and he and the 12 people in the house escaped with only their lives and the clothes on their back.<br /><br />But "natural evil" gives God a canvas upon which to work out his purposes for his own glory. The missionary had been trying to sell the house that burnt for months to no avail. Apparently it is insured.<br /><br />So is it possible that "natural evil" has been worked together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose? We will see. But it's interesting.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346761712248157930noreply@blogger.com
