“But as for you, ye
thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is
this day, to save much people alive.” ~Genesis 50:20
Here is Joseph, at the end of his life, addressing Hos
brothers. His brothers that hated him. The men who thought about killing him.
The ones who sold Joseph into slavery and their told father that he died. Now
an old man, Joseph tells his brothers that what they intended for harm God used
to help. Through ALL the pain, loneliness, and lies Joseph came to understand
that God was with Him the entire time.
The New Testament says that for us (born-again believers) all
things work together for good (Romans 8:28). Joseph saw that mightily all throughout his
life. He was able not to be bitter as an old man because He saw and understood
God’s plan. You need to understand that Jesus has a plan for you. The thing
that is wearing you down right now might be the very same thing to set you up
for a blessing. God has a
reason for everything He does and everything that He allows to happen. Trust
Him!!!
