God wills That Sin and Evil exist and bring Him Glory

These are hard words to write, in view of my own sinfulness, and the evil that is present in the world, and the daunting realization that all is not well in the universe and that many sins, faults, pains and injuries assail those who seek a God-saturated view of all things. He is merciful and gracious and holy and horrendous things happen and He is not indifferent or absent or surprised at any of it. He predestined all things while knowing the end of all things. Sovereign in wisdom and in power, He is perfectly good and compassionate and aware that He is working all things after the counsel of His will and working all things together for good for those who love Him. As Joseph told his brothers in Genesis 50, " you meant it for evil but God meant it for for good". This is the way God designed and ordained and decreed that things would work. To God be the glory.
