“Redeeming What Is Evil”

Beloved, one of the hardest questions people wrestle with is why God allows evil in the world. Pain, injustice, and brokenness can make us wonder where God is in the middle of it all. A searching man once asked, “Why didn’t God take Lucifer out after he fell from His glory?”

Scripture always provides an answer, and it always reveals truth. God allows evil because He alone has the power to redeem it.

What the enemy intends for destruction, God transforms into testimony. What was meant for harm, He turns into healing. What looked like defeat becomes the stage for His glory.

The Old Testament gives us a clear picture of this through Joseph’s story. After betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment, Joseph tells his brothers in Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.” The evil done against him was real — but God’s ability to redeem it was greater.

The New Testament reveals this redemption most clearly at the cross. In Acts 2:23 we see that Jesus was handed over through human wickedness, yet through that very act God accomplished salvation. What humanity meant for destruction, God transformed into redemption.

The reality is this: evil may exist, but it never has the final word. God’s sovereignty is greater than the darkness we see.

So Beloved, when you face circumstances that seem unjust or painful, remember this — God is not absent in the presence of evil. He is working in ways we cannot yet see, redeeming what only He can restore.

Because what evil intends to destroy, God can transform for good.

Pray with me: Father God, help me trust Your sovereignty even when I cannot understand what I see. Remind me that You are able to redeem what feels broken and bring purpose out of pain — in Jesus’ name, I pray, believe, receive, and praise in advance, Amen!
