Genesis 50:20

Genesis 50:20

Today's verse comes from the Book of Genesis. Jacob is dead. His sons fear revenge is coming. Joseph reframes their betrayal as God's plan to save lives.

20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Joseph stands before the men who threw him into a pit and sold him to slave traders. Their father Jacob is dead. The brothers collapse at Joseph's feet, terrified that he will finally settle the score. Decades have passed since they ripped his colored coat and told their father a wild beast killed him. Joseph rose from slave to prisoner to Pharaoh's right hand. Now he holds the power of life and death over the very men who tried to destroy him. He weeps. Then he speaks.
