Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
We all go through bad things.
Sometimes they’re minor and sometimes they’re major and life-changing.
Life can throw us some pretty hefty changes. Some of these changes can be due to choices or decisions we’ve made. Others can be things that happen that are completely out of our control.
Either way, they can sometimes turn our world upside down!
When life does throw these kinds of things at us and we feel like the rug has been pulled from under our feet, it can be very easy to throw ourselves a pity party, or maybe even throw a little temper tantrum, and feel really, really bad for ourselves.
Or, we can trust God, do our best to keep our head up, and keep moving forward, thanking God for each new day. Because in the end, regardless of whether this change was the result of our own bad choices or evil done to us by someone else, if we trust God and let Him work it all out, some really good things can come out of it all.
Joseph was sold into slavery by his very own brothers. They intended it for evil.
But God had other plans and turned it into something that would save the lives of hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of people.
So whatever we’re going through today, right now, let’s trust God to turn it into something good.
We just need to be patient, wait on His timing and follow His leading.
