GENESIS 50: Devotion

Pharaoh allowed Joseph to go and bury Jacob. Joseph comforts his brothers fear and says, "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good"

"Joseph’s brothers meant their actions for evil. But in direct parallel, God meant the same action for good. Due to the intention of the hearts of Joseph’s brothers, the action in the human realm was evil. The very same action as part of God’s eternal decree was meant for good, for by it God brought about His purpose and plan. One action, two intentions, compatible in all things. Joseph’s brothers were accountable for their intentions; God is to be glorified for His."
(Dr. James White)

In Acts 4:27–28. The early church confessed this same truth.
