WooooHOOOO! You’ve made it to day 4 of reading and journaling the Bible in 90 days! I am so excited for you!
I’m cruising along in my NIV thinline and love using my new SOAP journal to record my thoughts. :) I did use a Kindle version of the Bible for Days 1 and 2, but now I am back to the old school printed version.
How is it going for you? I’d love to hear all about it in the comments.
Today’s Reading: Genesis 40:12- 50:26
Here’s what I heard:
Even when bad things happen, He is there (and can use them for good)
Scripture: 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.
Observation:
Joseph’s brothers were pretty awful to him, acting out of jealousy. God took that and made their actions one chapter in a much better story. What was seen as (and was) evil was redeemed and used by God in a much better way.
Application:
Things may look bad and be bad, but God can use anything for His purpose. Focus on Him even in the rough times. He is there.
Prayer:
Father, I love you. I trust you. Thank you for this reminder that you can use all of our circumstances for your plan. Help me to see your light (or know it is coming) even in the darkness. You will always guide me if I choose to seek you. You are always there. Thank you.
What about you?–What did you hear today?
Please share in the comments. I’d love to know!
