🔸️ For "everything" to work for the good, we must have Faith in God! 🔸️
Let's meditate the life of Joseph. He turned away from evil according to the light he had received and longed to live a Godly life. He always wanted to please God. God too blessed him with contentment! "But" do you see how he was treated by the people?
His ten brothers were jealous on him and sold him to the Egyptians. Isn't it terrible to watch this show? "But" we finally see that all these were God's plan to appoint Joseph as the second ruler of Egypt!! The evils that his brothers had done to him were ultimately turned into good! Later, when Joseph arrived Egypt, he was sold as a servant in Potiphar's house. There, Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him. God-fearing Joseph refused to comply with her hypocritical desire! He left that tested environment and ran away!! Potiphar's wife immediately accused him falsely and threw him into jail.
Isn't such a show deadly? "But" God planned to put Joseph on the throne through prison! As we all know, it was in that prison, Joseph met Pharaoh's cup-bearer and as a result he was finally introduced to Pharaoh (Gen.41:9-13). Various people, thus tried to cause evil to Joseph. "But" God, with His almighty governance, turned all the evils that occurred to Joseph into good, for the fulfillment of His decision regarding Joseph's life!! (Romans 8:28).
Just like that, it will happen to us too! "Everything" that happening in our life will be for the fulfillment of God's plan for us! He will surely change us in the image of Christ finally!! But....we must believe these! Because we can receive God's promises only to the extent of our faith!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! Give us the grace to see faithfully Your powerful arm which causes everything to work together for the good in the deadly circumstances of life! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
