“Joseph said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 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'” Genesis 50:19-20, NKJV.
In spite of his brothers and what he went through for all those years, Joseph came to find out what appeared to be evil, God turned it for good. God is sovereign.
There’s a sovereignty of God that you can put your trust in right now. His hand is on your life. The Lord knows how to get you to an appointed place at an appointed time. Even the bad you’ve experienced or the wrong done to you, God is providential, and He is orchestrating it to bring about His ultimate good in your life. Nothing can stop His sovereignty. On the road you’re on, nothing can stop Him from arranging what has happened in your life and using it to get you to your life’s destination. Even as Joseph had to trust and know God was with him, so will you.
In light of what you’re going through or who is being used to cause you to go through it, be deeply encouraged. God is over it all. He’s overseeing it all. In time, you will see that it was only a stepping stone to escort you into a beautiful outcome, becoming the man you are ordained to be.
Prayer: Father, thank you for your sovereignty. You are in control of it all. You are overseeing my life and you are with me. May this bring me comfort in my moment. May it bring me peace and strength to stand in my moment. What hurts right now or what is being meant for bad, I praise you in advance that in the end, it will bring the greatest good in and for me. Like Joseph, cause it to even make me into a blessing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
