As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. — GENESIS 50:20
God used the greatest human evil, the murder of His Son, to bring about our greatest good—salvation. As we look to our lives, to the injustice around us and toward us, we ought to say with the apostle, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” (Rom. 8:32).

Joseph said these words to his brothers, his own family who had conspired to destroy his life out of jealousy when he was still just a youth. They nearly succeeded too as they sold him into slavery, a life worse than death. And that’s not even the whole story. While in Egypt, Joseph the slave is elevated, then wrongly accused and placed in jail for a number of years. While the first injustice was the work of his brothers, Joseph could have easily blamed God for the second injustice. Those who have experienced injustice know all too well how easy it is to blame God and demand Him to justify Himself.
Yet Joseph doesn’t! His contentment is not tied to his circumstances, but is deeply rooted in the character of God. What God allows, does, and how He does it can often be confusing and disorienting, yet God is always working to bring about good. Through our circumstances, God wants to bring good to us and through us to those around us.
