Everything Serves Your Plan

So says the NLT in Ps. 119.91. I like the translation: "Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans." An alternative translation of the Hebrew might read: "Everything serves you." What struck me today was the word "everything." There is much about faith in Christ that leaves us baffled. Why does God call us to do certain things? Why does evil seem to run rampant and unchecked? Why do bad things happen to good people? Not all of these questions are answered in the Scriptures; however, the fact that everything serves God's plans, or everything serves God gives us a good start to an answer and the willingness to persevere in the faith even when we don't fully understand the God we serve. Everything serves God's plans. Everything.
