“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 many people alive.” Genesis 50:20 KJV
Joseph did not want his brothers to feel sorry for their past wickedness against him, because he did not view what happened to him entirely as an act of hatred but rather as God’s way of strategically positioning him for the fulfilment of His great purpose.
Although he did not try to whitewash the evil his brothers did, he was determined to show them that God had a saving purpose in the cruel events of his life, otherwise, how else could he have gotten to the position he found himself in Egypt if he had remained with his father in the land of Canaan?
This same message is echoed to us by the Holy Spirit in Romans 8:28, which says: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.”
I therefore pray that God will strategically position you and that all things will begin to work together for your good and the overall blessing of your entire family in Jesus name.
Father, please let every evil plan of the enemy work together for my good in Jesus Name.
Shalom!
