This verse was so packed with goodness that we just couldn't help but break this up into two days. We know that we can't totally avoid harm - no matter how much control we THINK we have, we just can't control what others do or what circumstances come our way. BUT GOD... our Heavenly Father will NEVER let it kill, steal or destroy us. In this Bible Study, we remembered how very good and BIG our God is and how very loved we are by our Creator.
What the enemy intends to use for harm, God uses for good!
Who can God be for me now that I"m in this situation?
Who is the "Alexander" in my life (or am I the Alexander in someone's life?) and what harm has been done? OR
Is God the "Alexander" in my life? Do I think God is the one who has harmed me?
