Proverbs 16:1-2,4 – To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the
tongue. All a
person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord…The Lord works
out everything to its proper end—even the wicked for a day of disaster.
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.
Proverbs 24:12 – If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not
he who weighs the heart
perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will
he not repay everyone
according to what they have done?
Application:
- · God is sovereign in every life and in all of history. God displays His power even through the wicked, and all evil will be judged.
- · The act of Joseph’s brothers, was used by God to save life—the life of the Israelites, the Egyptians and all the nations that came to Egypt to buy food in the face of a famine that threatened the known world.
- · God knows even our thoughts and motives
