Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
The strategic advantage of “Insider Information” is that it makes us aware of events, changes, or decisions before they become public, enabling better preparation. It helps us to reduce risk and gives us a competitive edge.
The scriptures illuminate our lives with “Insider information”. The knowledge of God’s Word gives us insight and brightens up our path. The secrets of God’s protection and God’s divine path are found in the Word of God.
When we read the Bible, we invariably see ourselves as the heroes of the Bible. We see us suffering injustice like Joseph, knocking down a giant like David or walking through the fire like the 3 Hebrew boys. But there are times when we are the brothers of Joseph who failed to show mercy or the Jacob who hurt his brother by stealing his birthright. However, even when we have failed and faltered, there is hope if we repent and recommit our lives to the Lord. The evil brothers who treated their baby brother Joseph brutally were condemned by their actions but our God, the Great Redeemer, redeemed their misery by turning the mistakes into miracles.
The deplorable damage that the brothers did to Joseph became the destiny direction for Joseph. God took the mistake and turned it into a miracle. This insider information gives us comfort and breaks the yoke of condemnation and shame. Repentance removes the stain of sin, breaks the chains of curse and consequences of wrong choices. The Lord God used the hideous action of the brothers to accomplish a greater purpose in Joseph and saved many lives.
There is a hidden secret in your disappointment, delay or detour. Unlock the secret by meditating on God’s Word.
The Hidden Secret:
- Disappointment: Human hypothesis of a disappointing event in our life can derail us but divine analysis in the light of the scriptures will reveal God’s greater purpose.
- Delay: God is in the delay. Don’t rush or push.
- Detour: The detour is to protect us from harm. So, don’t be disheartened.
The scriptures reveal that what was intended for evil will accomplish good.
Prayer: Dear Lord, reveal the secrets from the scriptures and help me to see the rebuff as your redirection. Amen.
