“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
REFERENCE:
As long as we are in this imperfect world where satan reigns as a god, we will experience painful and sad events. Frequently, arrows of betrayal and bitterness will come at us, the wickedness of men will be directed at us, and sometimes, we may share in the consequences of another person’s misdeed. Times of difficulty may arise, but I want you to know that good will come out of it.
Satan often strikes when he sees a man with a colorful and glorious destiny. He shoots his worst arrows at God’s best. He tries to frustrate them just before their long-awaited miracle comes; he uses discouragement to make them abandon the assignments God committed to them and wander, wondering if God loves them or even cares. God cares about you.
Joseph went through an experience that was too harrowing for a young man. However, seeing the end of his life, we can counsel him thus: good will come out of it. Although Joseph’s blood brothers betrayed and sold him into slavery, their conscience worried them when they saw him in his glory. In granting his father’s petition, Joseph would rise to the top against all odds.
Joseph’s journey through life was convoluted. How do you explain that the son of the patriarch of Israel became a cleaner in the house, running errands, sweeping the compound, etc? His boss’ wife later lied against him, and his boss jailed him. God gave Pharaoh a dream, so he needed Joseph to interpret it. When Joseph did, His life changed candidate. God turned it.
Are you in pain and confusion? Does it seem people in your workplace have devised a rumor against you? Have you been fighting invisible battles just from the general ill-will of the people around you? Do you seem to take five steps forward and seven steps backward? God knows. He will come with the vengeance of the Lord; He will come and save you. People may have withdrawn the favor they once showed you. Fear not; good will come out of it.
