GOD CAN WORK IT OUT

Proclamation:

“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) 

Explanation:

These words were written by Moses under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  Moses recorded the account of how Joseph came to Egypt and how he went from being a prisoner to become second to Pharaoh in command in Egypt. (Genesis 41:39-41)  His journey started with his brothers hating him.  Joseph’s brothers hated him because their father loved Joseph more than he loved all of the rest of them.  (Genesis 37:3-4)  They also hated him because he told them of his dream that he would rule over them. (Genesis 37:8)  They even had conspired to kill him but their brother Reuben talked them out of it. (Genesis 37:21-22)  They put him into a pit and left him there for a while.  Then they took him out of the pit and sold him to some merchants who were passing by on their way to Egypt. (Genesis 37:28) 

Application

Into every life some rain must fall, but some good things happen after the rain.  Too much rainfall in our lives can cause bad things to happen.  Sometimes ‘things’ just don't go the way that we think that they should go.  But things that the devil, and some folks, meant to be bad for us, God can turn into good. (Genesis 50:20)  So, when bad things happen, don't worry, turn it over to Jesus, He can work it out. Remember, God is still in control "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)  Let's first make sure that we are doing Our Heavenly Father's business and working according to His will.  Then when negative situations occur, He can turn them into preparation for a positive result.  Whatever it is, God can work it out.
