GOD TURNS EVERY EVIL AGAINST YOU FOR GOOD
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day]. (Genesis 50:20 AMP)
Joseph had a dream where his brothers and father bowed before him and shared the dream with the brothers. They became envious of him and sold him to an Egyptian merchant who eventually sold him to Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guard. Portiphar's wife later falsely accused Joseph of attempted r**e, and he was imprisoned.
Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharoah's chief cupbearer and chief baker in the prison. Subsequently, when Pharoah's wise men couldn't interpret his dreams, the cupbearer told Pharoah about Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. Pharoah sent for Joseph, and after he interpreted his dreams, Pharoah made him the governor.
After the death of Jacob, Joseph's brothers were scared that Joseph would pay them for the evil they did to him and pleaded for forgiveness, but Joseph made the statement in today's scripture. He told them God turned the evil they meant against him for good.
If God turned the evil against Joseph for good, then He will turn every evil against you for good because He is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). So, no one can perpetrate evil on you. Just as in the case of Joseph, any evil against you will be a stepping stone to your dreams.
Despite the challenges and evil against Joseph, he still fulfilled his dreams because God was with him (Genesis 39:2-4). Hence, ensure God is with you always by abstaining from evil and doing pleasant things. That way, you'll be sure that God will turn every evil against you for good. What a mighty God we serve!
