Gen 50:20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.
Joseph was hated by his brothers. They threw him into a pit and left for dead – but Joseph did not die. Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery. Joseph knew that God is always in control. Joseph was able to forgive his brothers. Joseph said, “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good”.
Joseph trusted and believed that God will keep His Word and Promise – no matter how ugly the situation is. God is sovereign and trustworthy. Joseph understood God’s big-picture plan and forgave his brothers.
You may be going through suffering. Maybe other people are benefiting while you suffer. Child of God, God works all things together for good. They may have meant evil against you, but God meant it for good. Forgive your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. God is still in control.
We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD. From Paulos Moloi. Stay blessed.
