Genesis 50:20
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.
Joseph is talking to his brothers who:
- first planned to kill him,
- then sold Him into slavery,
- Now, he is the ruler of Egypt and about to save his whole family.
Great story (Genesis 37-50 – Careful, it is a page-turner!)
The takeaway is this:
No matter how dark or scary the moment, God can redeem it.
- Slaves become kings
- Shepherd boys slay giants
- Scraps feed multitudes
Whatever you’ve got going in your life, in His hands,
- little becomes much
- dark becomes light
- despair becomes hope
It’s who He is
Give it to God
Stay close
Stay faithful
