Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
These are words that were spoken by Joseph, as he faced his brothers; the brothers who sold him into slavery many years earlier. What they did, they did with evil intent. But God turned it around and used it for good.
There are many reading this who are facing situations that are hard. Some may be facing the toughest things they’ve ever faced in their lives. You may feel like darkness has closed in on you and you can see no light at all.
But know this. What the enemy has intended for evil, God can work for good.
It might feel like absolutely nothing good can come from your situation, the chaos you feel, the hurt and the pain that you’re struggling with. You can see nothing good, anywhere.
But when we are at our lowest, looking up, God already has a plan in the works. We just need to stick with Him and walk with Him so He can bring it to pass.
That is the hard part. That is the part that so many of us get wrong, because we get tired, frustrated and scared, and we give up too soon.
We can tell you from personal experiences that those times when we are about to throw in the towel and take things into our own hands are exactly when God has moved on our behalf, and turned what looked like catastrophes into victories.
So hold fast to God. Cling to His word. And remember that where the enemy sows evil, distress and chaos, God will bring healing, peace and joy, if we don’t give up.
Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
