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 God brought good from the brothers’ evil deed, Potiphar’s wife’s false accusation, the cup-bearer’s neglect, and seven years of famine. The experiences in Joseph’s life taught him that God brings good from evil for those who trust him. Do you trust God enough to wait patiently for him to bring good out of bad situations? You can trust him because, as Joseph learned, God can overrule people’s evil intentions to bring about his intended results. --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Heavenly Father, Thank you for the most glorious story of grace and forgiveness. Just as Joseph rose up to forgive and maintain grace toward his heinous family, grant me the grace to refuse to be in Your place and make judgment against people who wronged me. Help me embrace Your plan to redeem my life and make it serve a much higher purpose. Guide me to choose to rest in Your promises knowing that You will bring about good for me even from the most painful and difficult circumstances. Your grace is sufficient to me always. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
