Have you ever pondered these verses (Genesis 50:19-20) mainly verse 20? Verse 20 always jumps off the pages for me " As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day." God brought good from the brothers' evil deed, Potiphar's wife's false accusation, the cupbearer's neglect, and seven years of famine. Now I'm of the mind that the experiences in Joseph's life taught him that God Brings Good From Evil For Those Who Trust Him. Now, I want you to ask yourself, do I trust God enough to wait patiently for him to bring good out of bad situations? You can trust him because, as Joseph learned, that God can overrule people's evil intentions to bring about his intended results. Our Lord and God have promised to provide for us. Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to their little ones. yes even though he (Joseph) was wronged by his siblings he still did the right thing (Genesis 47:12) " And Joseph supplied his father and his father's household with food, according to [the needs of] their families." As this to say that the Father looks after those who look to him. I'm always reminded that he has not brought us this far just to leave us. I'm likewise reminded of a scripture in the book of Daniel, verse 9:14. " Therefore the Lord Has kept ready the calamity (evil) and Has brought it upon Us for the Lord our God is [uncompromisingly] righteous and rigidly just in all Has works which He does [keeping His Word], and we have Not obeyed His Voice. Once again remember this You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. " MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Blessed New Year. "
