Bad Plans Turned Good


December 8
Jacob had 12 sons. One of them, the one he loved the best, was called Joseph. Jacob gave his son Joseph a beautiful coat, but he gave nothing to his other sons. They were jealous. They sold Joseph into slavery and thought they’d seen the end of him, but God had bigger plans. He used Joseph to help save Egypt from a terrible famine. In fact, Egypt had so much food that Joseph’s brothers all came there looking for relief.
They found food, they found their brother, and they found that God can take wicked plans and use them for good.

Today’s Bible Verse – Genesis 50:19-20
But Joseph said to 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."
