God Can Transform Any Evil Into Goodness
Only God possesses the incredible power to transform any form of evil into something truly good and meaningful.
Scripture 📖 - Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Observation 👀
When Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers asked him for forgiveness for mistreating him. And this is Joseph’s response to his brothers who once sold Joseph into slavery out of jealousy. Despite what Joseph had been through in Egypt, God used him to save Israelites from famine. God even made Joseph—a Hebrew man becoming the Prime Minister in Egypt. This story reminds us that God can turn any worst situations for good. From a slave in a foreign land, into the second-highest leader in that land.
Application ✨
Trust in God’s plan. Maybe you’re in ‘Egypt’ situation just like Joseph for now. The same God who turned Joseph from slave into Prime Minister will turn any evil plan in your life into good.
Pray for God to handle any bitterness inside your heart. It’s not easy to be like Joseph, who forgives his brothers that sold him. Joseph saw the act of repentance from his brothers. Joseph was given a position who has the authority to punish his brothers but he chose to give God’s mercy.
Have faith instead of fear. Fear is always trying to enter our heart, and poisoning our mind and body. But have faith in God!
Prayer 🙏
Father in Heaven,
I thank You for Your guidance and for leading me on the right path. Even when evil tries to harm me, You protect me from any wickedness. Only You have the power to turn any evil into good.
Lord, I ask for Your forgiveness for allowing bitterness stays in my heart. Please reveal any hidden bitterness within me and teach me how to let it go. Grant me wisdom to have faith in You and lead me how to navigate ‘Egypt’ moments in my life.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
