As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. (Genesis 50:20)

Daily reading: Colossians 3

Joseph had a wonderful insight into what had happened to him and could see the good in the evil that his own brothers did when they sold him to the Ishmaelites. Of course, Joseph was a foreshadowing of Jesus who would suffer evil but overcome it in order to bring about good—saving many people from their sins. Romans 12:21 encourages us, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Like Joseph, we can choose to respond to wrongs with grace and goodness, trusting God to turn situations around. Pray that God will empower you to overcome evil with good, and perhaps even bring His salvation closer to those who oppose you.
