Day 2 of Where is God Working in This?
God Redeems What He Doesn’t Cause
Reading: Genesis 50:19–21
Joseph’s story is a powerful picture of how God can redeem what people meant for harm. Joseph never denied the evil done to him—he recognized it honestly. Yet he trusted that God could weave those broken pieces into something redemptive. Your story may include pain you never asked for, but no wound is beyond God’s healing reach. Take time today to name one area of hurt and place it before God in prayer. Ask Him to begin turning that place of pain into a testimony of His goodness. Pay attention to small signs of His restoring work.
