Gen 50:19-20
We learn a great truth about God’s character in this last chapter of Genesis. Jacob’s sons, who intended to harm their brother, were used by God instead to save the lives of many people. Who could have brought good out of such evil intent? Only God, our Savior. He is able to use the worst tragedies to work some of the greatest good. Take comfort in God’s wonderful works. Praise the Lord, our Redeemer, for his providential care, which ultimately causes good to triumph over evil.

Prayer and Praise
FATHER IN HEAVEN, we thank you that we can turn to you in the midst of life’s difficulties. You come to us as Savior and Redeemer, offering your sure help and certain hope. When we cannot see a way out, you offer vision to overcome. When we stumble, you pick us up and set us back on course. We praise you that you can transform our sinful heart and bring good into our life. To you be the glory forever. Amen
