Genesis 50:19-21...Live by Faith...

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. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

We have all experienced a time in our lives when we thought someone, or everyone, was out to do us harm. Everything points to the injury and to the hurtfulness that we felt during those moments, It is only later, and sometimes much later, that we are able to look through the lens of time to see how God has used that experience to season us and to bring good in another way. We are not often privy to the ways God moves or to the plans that He has for our lives. We do not have to understand the end result to be a part of His plan, we just need to be available. God wants us to be ready to move as He directs and to have faith that His plan is perfect. Live by faith and understand that God loves each of us.
