Good Friday is here! It's interesting that one of the most seemingly tragic days in history is now known as "Good" Friday. But that's often the ironic way that God works. We're told in His Word that "...all things work together for good..."(Romans 8:28 NKJV). Not that all things are good, but that, in God's hands, good will be the end result.
 
Undoubtedly, it certainly didn't seem good at the time. Jesus' family, His faithful followers, and friends watched him brutally crucified. I'm sure they felt betrayed, abandoned, lost, heartbroken, scared and alone. But they didn't know the good that was coming. They didn't know that they had just witnessed the most pivotal moment of not only their lives, but all our lives. And they had yet to see the monumental way that God would turn things around.

From the horror of that day came hope like mankind had never known. God turned tragedy into triumph, death into life, and an ending into a new beginning. And even though it was over 2000 years ago, God's power hasn't changed or diminished. He is still able to turn things around and produce good from bad in ways that no one can imagine.

The disciples had only to wait. Wait 3 days for the good. Sometimes we have to wait, too, but He is in the waiting. He is working things together, even if we cannot see. Don't limit God by your human senses. His good goes far beyond our imaginations and He can make it "Good" for you, too.  

Resurrection Day is coming. The good from the bad is coming. Believe that your good is coming, too.
