Work for Good

Reminder of the Day: God works for your good.

You all know the story of Joseph... The one where his brothers throw him in a pit out of jealous. Sell him. He is brought to Egypt. Works for Potiphar. Thrown in jail for false accusations by Potiphar's wife. Interpreted dreams. Lifted to Pharaoh's right hand man. Put over all of Egypt. During a famine, reunited with the same brothers that threw him in that pit so many years earlier... They came to him asking for food without realizing who he was... You get the gist of it. If you haven't read it I highly encourage you to do so. [Genesis 37-50]... This brings me to what I want to talk about...

Genesis 50:20 "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." This verse is such an encouragement, and the person who said it is so beyond credible.. He was imprisoned and could have been killed because of what his brothers did to him, but God spared him. God had his own plan. God wanted to make Joseph's life a beautiful masterpiece. He wanted to make something of Joseph. He wanted to give him a bright future. So He did exactly that. Even though evil was done, God still used it.

This applies to your life. This is what God has in store for you. Don't ever think that anything is too big for God to work through. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." ALL things. Not just some things... but ALLLLL things. Let that soak in. God has bigger plans for you. God wants to make something of you. He is the masterful artist and He is creating something beautiful in your life. Sometimes those trials help shape up into that end result. Ecclesiastes 3:11... "God has made everything beautiful in its time."

Conclusion: He has good things prepared for you.

Keep your head up.
