GOD HAS GOOD PLANS FOR YOU
“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 KJV
No one likes adversities or negative experiences! No one likes to be discomforted, disrespected, or disadvantaged! We all want to be loved, record gains, and celebrate all the time.
How could Joseph have ever believed that it was God’s will for his own brothers to hate him for no just cause?! They even attempted to kill him, just to satisfy their displeasure for him! Joseph was sold like a common slave to complete strangers, by his own brothers! He was cruelly separated from his father, and younger brother; those who genuinely loved and cared for him! The cruel brothers made their entire family weep for and mourn Joseph, as if he had died under the attack of a wild animal! On getting to the foreign land, Joseph was falsely accused by his boss’ wife; because he refused to sleep with her as she demanded! He was thrown into prison for attempted rape -a crime he did not commit! But, after thorough reflections, Joseph saw God working behind the scenes! He saw that God was the Director of the whole tragic drama! God’s intention and masterplan was to relocate Joseph from Canaan to Egypt (an idea his caring father would have disapproved of). God planned to put Joseph on the government of Egypt; and use him to save the world from perishing from hunger!
You too may not like what you are going through! You may have been asking questions that you’re not getting answers to. If God is behind your unpleasant experiences, believe me, He has a big plan! Whatever you may be experiencing will be turned around for good, if two factors are in place: one, if you love for God… and secondly, if He has chosen you for a certain purpose! Romans 8:28 KJV “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Nothing works against someone that loves God, and someone that God is using! No negative circumstances can swallow or work against anyone that loves God, and anyone that is running an errand for God! Every thing will be working together for their good!
PRAY:
Heavenly Father, thank you! Today, I declare that I love you. I will show you love by spending my time with you. I will give and serve, to support your work! I promise to carry out your purposes every other day of my life. So, no negative circumstances will work against me, but for my good always; in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
