"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 (NIV)
There are times when it seems like others are out to get us. During those times, we may put up defenses and even find it difficult to love those that are attacking us. Even when it seems others intend to do us harm, we know that God can bring about good!
When others are trying to bring us down, we should remember to turn to God. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, but God used this experience for good, putting Joseph in a position of power with the ability to provide for himself and his family. God can take any situation and use it for good. We just have to trust in Him and seek His way throughout our lives, being loving and forgiving no matter what those around us try to do!
Let God transform others' intent into His intent!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing for me. Please continue to bless me and fulfill Your intent in and for my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
