All Things Work Together For Good

 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose - Romans 8:28.

             In the life of Joseph, all the following things work together for good as He loved God. Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him - 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Hated

When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him - Genesis 37:3.

Sold to Midianites

So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt - Genesis 37:28.

Sold to Potiphar

Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard - Genesis 37:36.

Falsely Accused by Potiphar's wife

The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me; so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside - Genesis 39:17,18.

Thrown into prison

Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined - Genesis 39:20. 

Forgotten

But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him - Genesis 40:14, 23.

Joseph lifted high

And, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt - Genesis 41:41. God blessed Joseph and made him as a blessing to his own family and others.

Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt” - Genesis 41:44. 

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive - Genesis 50:20.

                                                                                              

Prayer: Dear Lord, We thank You and praise You. We believe that all things in our life work together for good as we love You. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
