22 Scripture
Verse for Today
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much
people alive. (Genesis 50:20)
When evils befall us we sometimes get discouraged, even accusing God for letting these things
come upon us. Maybe Joseph felt this way when he was sold into Egypt as a slave, then falsely accused by
Potiphar’s wife, and ending up in a dark prison dungeon. How do you think he felt when once he had
great hope of being freed, only to be forgotten by Pharaoh’s chief butler?
The day finally came that he was not only freed, but became a chief ruler in Egypt. In reflection, he realized
that all that had come upon him had brought good to he and his family in the end!
We do not know what uncertainty the future holds, but we do know who is in control. God will work everything
out for our good and His glory! ~~
