GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD

Genesis 50:20 LEB

As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this—to keep many people alive—as it is today.

Questions that we ask:

God, what are you doing?

How could you allow this to happen?

I never thought this would happen to me.

Why, God?

And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great. And you will be a blessing. And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse. And all families of the earth will be blessed in you.” And Abram went out as Yahweh had told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he went out from Haran.
