“God’s ways are higher than our ways. What others intended for your harm God will turn to good.”
Zephaniah 3:20 (NIV)
“At that time, I will gather you; at
that time, I will bring you home. I will give you honour and praise among all
the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
In Egypt, after a series of turbulent circumstances, Joseph was able to
interpret a dream that Pharaoh had, saying that drought and famine were about
to impact the land. Based on this information, the king promoted Joseph to a
position second only to him. By his position and the wise insight God gave him,
Joseph’s actions and planning saved many lives.
When Joseph’s brothers, who lived in Canaan, appealed to Egypt for food, they
unwittingly appeared before Joseph. Joseph tests their motives resulting in his
brothers bowing to his superiority (fulfilment of his original dreams).
Finally, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and declares, “You meant evil
against me, but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this
day, to save the lives of many people.”
God's purpose always prevails. He knows your beginning from your end and
everything in between. Your circumstances can change, as Jospeh’s did, yet if
you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways, he will nevertheless direct
their outcome. What Joseph’s brothers intended for evil against him God used to
promote him. Evil can be changed to good at submission to the hand of God. Be
encouraged to hold on – never give up – and trust God to deliver you from those
adverse circumstances you’re facing. God’s ways are higher than our ways. What
others intended for your harm God will turn to good. So, seek him and call upon
him. In his time, he will exalt you and restore your fortunes before your very
eyes.
God-tracking is trusting God to turn evil into good.
IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT.
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!

SO, DON’T GIVE UP,
LOOK UP & PRAY
“I commit my circumstance to you and trust that, in your time, you will restore
me to good health, good fortune and good living.”
“Dear Lord I
sometimes feel like Joseph must have felt when he was in prison in Egypt. You
had a plan for him, but he was incarcerated with no hope for a future. But you
rescued him and what others intended for his harm you turned out for his good.
I commit my circumstance to you and trust that, in your time, you will restore
me to good health, good fortune and good living. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”
