Genesis 50:20 (NLT) 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.
We’ve all been wounded and we’ve all been hurt by people around us. Joseph was betrayed by his own brothers. He ended up in a place he never thought he would be and with a people of a different nation and culture. He was treated harshly and deceitfully. He had plenty of opportunity to become bitter but he became better. He was able to see the bigger picture. He knew that God was ultimately in control and that there was any person or situation that could bring him down. He knew his God. When it came time to get back to his brothers he took the high road. He knew the principle that man makes his plans but God directs his steps. We need more Joseph’s in our midst. We need more people who see the big picture and will let God do what He wants to do.
