How marvelously God turns everything around for his glory and purposes!
To all his years of suffering and difficulty, Joseph refused to become bitter. His brothers, the means through which his suffering came, would have been prime targets for Joseph's blame.
Instead, Joseph told them," don't be afraid, am I in the place of God?
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (Genesis 50:19, 20).
What a class act!
Joseph's wisdom gave him the perspective to see God working in and through his life instead of the devil's work.
Paul reminds us in Romans 8:28 that" in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
God even turned around Pharaoh's terrible actions of destroying babies so Moses could be brought to Pharaoh's daughter!
There is nothing Satan does that will not turn around on him.
God will not be defeated or outwitted.
Trust him, refuse to become bitter, and watch them turn it around for good!
