Read: Genesis 50: 15-21

Reflect:
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” (Genesis 50:20)  In God’s hands intended evil becomes eventual good.  In the story of Joseph, no one can deny the presence of evil…jealousy, thoughts of murder, rejection, tears, pain, heartache, lying. Just when it looked like Joseph might get a break there is yet another moment of pain. Yet time and time again God redeemed the pain. The very acts intended to destroy God’s servant turned out to strengthen him. “You meant evil against me,” Joseph told his brothers, using a Hebrew verb that traces its meaning to “weave” or “plait.” “You wove evil,” he was saying, “but God rewove it together for good.”  God, the Master Weaver.  Sometimes, in the tapestry of life it seems as if there are lots of loose threads and strings hanging in random directions. Only the Master Weaver knows what the finished product will become, while we only see how perfectly the pieces fit together once each part is completed.  Remember, God sees the finished product, and He is making a beautiful and wondrous work of your life.

Pray:
God you are good.  That is your character.  You can not be good.  In your hands, intended evil becomes eventual good.  Thank you for your goodness to me.
