God meant it for good

Domed grain stores, like the ones Egypt built to keep grain.

Read

As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.

Genesis 50:20 (BSB)

Think

Joseph’s brothers sold him as a slave. But God turned it around: Joseph ended up saving many people from hunger, even his brothers. God can turn bad things into good, and the cross is the biggest example of all.

Talk about it

Can you remember something hard that God turned into something good?

Pray

God, help me trust You when things are hard.
