"Safe Harbor's" Daily Inspiration

"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

God Always Has Control

Joseph's jealous brothers sold their young brother

into slavery.

Despite this evil deed, Joseph was, in time,

led by the Lord to become prime minister of Egypt.

When his brothers came to Egypt to buy food

for their families, Joseph revealed his identity to them

and forgave them.

"You intended to harm me,"

he said to them,

"but God intended it for good to accomplish

what is now being done,

the saving of many lives."

Our God has laid out His plans, and we cannot

alter them.

He foresees the schemes of evil people and He

plans around them, turning evil into good.

Peter proclaimed on Pentecost that Jesus,

crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men,

was delivered up according to the definite plan

and foreknowledge of God.

But God raised Him up,

freeing Him from the agony of death,

because it was impossible for death to keep

its hold on Him!

(Read Acts 2:24)

Knowing the power God had then, and stills has today,

we can be certain that He is turning

apparent evil into good also in our lives.

We can fully trust that God is in control ~

of this world and of our lives.

God has a plan for each of us!

May we seek His guidance in the unfolding of it,

trusting in Him and following Him always.
