Today’s Verse:
"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
Prayer for Today:
God, thank you for teaching us through the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-50). Thoughout his life, he had experienced many trials. Because of jealousy and envy, his brothers planned to destroy him, conspired to kill him and betrayed him for silver coins. Then, once again, he was being accused of a crime that he didn’t commit.
Father, help us to apply this teaching into our lives. Everyday, we face so many situations which we feel are unfair or unjust. And sometimes, we are unable to see the way out!
Lord, help us to apply Joseph’s kindness to the brothers and sisters who are against us. Lord, encourage us to apply Joseph’s forgiveness to the brothers and sisters who hurt us. Lord, inspire us to apply Joseph’s graciousness and thoughtfulness to the brothers and sisters who deliberately distance themselves from us or ignore us.
Because Father, we have faith in You, for whatever people intended to do for bad , You changed it for good.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
