"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.
