“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Genesis 50:20 NIV

I love what Joseph says in this passage—when meeting his brothers after being sold into slavery and being put into prison, he gives thanks to the God who saved him and others.

When we look at our lives and the past experiences we’ve lived through, and then look at where we are now, how many of those experiences are the reason we are trusting in God today? Or the reason we’ve been able to encourage others? Or maybe the reason that we’ve gotten closer to others?

The Lord promises us a future (Jeremiah 29:11), new life (2 Corinthians 5:17), and blessings (Psalm 128:4).

So this week, how can we look at the future with the knowledge of the Lord’s promises?

Thanks for reading friends, and have a great day!
