Intended For Good

I inadvertently came across this verse recently, but boy did I need to read it and share it with some others. Genesis 50:20 (NLT) – “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”

I sure can apply this to my counseling work in numerous ways—and I know that we can all easily apply it to our lives in numerous ways as well.

It’s like the lyrics from the song “See a Victory” by Elevation Worship, which say – “You take what the enemy meant for evil and you turn it for good.” God can take even the darkest situations and use them for good. What the enemy means for harm, God will use to bless you and many others.

I promise that when you change your mindset to believe that, your entire life will suddenly just take on a whole new meaning. You’ll start to view your problems differently. Instead of asking yourself why something is happening to you, start asking yourself what the Lord is trying to accomplish in you and around you.
