We love to complain, don’t we? If you answered “No”, then I believe you’re in the minority. We complain about the weather; “It’s too hot” or, “It’s too cold“. Complaining about politics has become a national pastime on social media.
No matter which side of the platform we’re on, the other guy is wrong. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are literally hundreds of things and situations we complain about every day, aren’t there? With that said, Max Lucado shows how trusting God outweighs every complaint. So, let’s begin and learn.
Patrick John Hughes Story

How to Really Trust God – Max Lucado Video
Joseph Trusted God – No Matter What!
In the video, we learn how Joseph trusted God completely, no matter where He led him. We sometimes find ourselves in situations where we have no idea where we are going — or what we’re going to do. But remember, God knows exactly where He is “pushing” us.
If we only trust Him, God will never dump us out of our wheelchair. So, no matter what comes our way, we can rest assured that God will bring us through. Pastor Max Lucado focuses on this one Scripture passage from Genesis 50:20..
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to keep many people alive.”
Trusting God Turns Evil into Good
In our lives, we can find those hundreds of little things to complain about. Or, you could be suffering from a major crisis in your life. Either way, let’s reflect on the verse above. God can use evil for good. Trusting Him can turn fear into hope.
I know it’s sometimes really difficult to trust God completely. We all have the human tendency to try everything but prayer and patience. But, when we finally give in to trusting God, He is there — He’s waiting to help us.
As it says in Genesis, God will turn evil into good.
In Christ,
Bob
