"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."
Acts 20:28
weekly message
“But Joseph said to them, ‘Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.’” (Genesis 50:19-20)
Once Jacob (Joseph’s father) had died, his brothers were worried Joseph would now retaliate for the evil that they had done to him. But to their amazement, Joseph not only forgave them but reassured them he would take care of them and their families. Joseph demonstrated how God graciously accepts us, even though we don’t deserve it. The experiences in Joseph’s life taught him that God brings good from evil for those who trust Him. (Remember Romans 8:28) Do you trust God enough to wait for him to bring good from your bad situations? Joseph learned that God can overrule people’s evil intentions to bring about His intended results. We can trust Him!
