God Means Good For You Always

“As you feel that someone or something is set up to hurt you or harm you, forgive and submit fully to God, and you will start seeing that the enemy meant for evil, God meant for God“ - Wesleyne

Genesis 50:20:

You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

This verse comes from the lips of Joseph, who had been sold into slavery by his envious brothers, only to rise to power in Egypt and be in a position to aid them during a time of famine. Here, Joseph recognizes the paradox of human intent and divine purpose. While his brothers had meant harm by their actions, God transformed that adversity into an opportunity. Joseph's journey through betrayal, slavery, imprisonment, and finally to power was not merely a tale of personal vindication, but a larger narrative where God's providential hand would save many lives.


Today, you will learn about the overarching theme of God's sovereignty and His ability to turn malevolent intents into blessings. The verse teaches that even in the midst of deep suffering and apparent setbacks, God's purposes can be at work, molding situations for greater good. Joseph's perspective, as revealed in this verse, is one of forgiveness, understanding, and recognizing the larger picture of divine providence. This verse encourages believers to view trials and tribulations not merely as isolated incidents of hardship but as potential conduits for God's grace and purpose to unfold.
