Today is Monday, December 17, 2018, and here is your Daily Devo. Romans 828 reminds us we can trust that God has a plan for all who love him and are called according to his purpose. This plan is always good, even when, as in Joseph's case, it doesn't feel good all the time. Joseph's situation in the pit and the prison may have seemed hopeless, but years later God brought his good plan into focus.
Joseph was in the position to spare the lives of his family, a position that only came about because of it the suffering he had endured. Like Joseph, we may find ourselves in situations that seem hopeless, but we can know that as followers of Christ, hope never need run out. God was at work in the pit. God was at work in the prison.
God was at work in the palace. God is at work wherever we are. Our hope rests in knowing God uses every situation we face for his glory and our good. We can be assured that whatever happens we win because living is Christ and dying is gain.
Think about this. What verses could we clean to when struggling to believe God is in control and working all things for good? How does Joseph's story help you put the bad things that happen in your life in the right perspective? Thanks for listening to the Daily Devo.
