God's Plan &
Purpose!
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
In 1928, Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming
returned to his laboratory after holiday. Before
leaving, he prepared some culture plates and
set them aside.
Upon returning, he discovered a fungus grew
on one plate that had killed off the organisms
surrounding it. He accidentally
discovered
what became penicillin.
Sometimes unplanned events in our life become a
blessing not only for us but for many others besides.
That
happened when Joseph was sold into slavery by
his brothers and was taken to Egypt. He became the
second-most powerful person in the nation because
of God’s blessing.
When God revealed to him a famine was coming, he
created a strategy to save Egypt. His plan also saved
his brothers and their families who migrated from the
land of Canaan to Egypt for food. What the brothers
meant for evil against Joseph,
God used to save
their lives.
When unforeseen events occur, stop and ask
God to show you His plan and purpose. Ask
Him to let it be a blessing for you and
others.
"Circumstances may appear to
wreck
our lives and God’s plans, but God is
not helpless among the ruins."
