Bad to Good

11/15/2015

0 Comments

 
"'As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about his present result, to preserve many people alive.  So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.' So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them." -Genesis 50:20-21 (NASB)
We may experience times when it feels like others are out to get us.  Whether because of our actions or the perceptions of others, we may be targeted.  Even though others may mean to cut us down or stop our good works, God can turn it around to accomplish His will!

One example of God using harmful plans for His will is the life of Joseph.  Joseph's brothers meant harm for Joseph, who they saw as their father's favorite.  God used the plans of Joseph's brother for good, eventually saving the lives of Joseph's family during a famine.  In our lives, we need to respond like Joseph.  We should trust that God will be active in protecting us and using the circumstances in our lives for His will.  We also need to be gracious and show God's love when dealing with those that tried to hurt us!

Allow God to use a bad situation for His good!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for protecting me, even when others are trying to cause harm.  Please help me to trust that You will use whatever I am facing for Your good and glory.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
