• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Mackie at his time. Right now for today's word, What
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the enemy meant for evil? Genesis fifty and twenty says
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you intended to harm me, but God intended it all
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for good. He brought me to this position so I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: could save the lives of many people. You know there
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: are seasons in life that simply don't make sense. You
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: do the right thing, yet you face opposition. You remain faithful,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: yet doors seen to close. You trust God, yet the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: journey becomes more difficult than you ever imagine. In those moments,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's easy to wonder.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: God, where are you? Why is this happening?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Joseph understood those feelings better than most. As a young man,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: God gave him dreams of greatness. Yet instead of seeing
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: those dreams immediately fulfilled, Joseph found himself betrayed by his
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: own brothers, thrown into a pitch, sold into slavery, falsely
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: accused him.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: For gotten. In prison for.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Thirteen long years, it looked as though everything that could
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: go wrong had gone wrong. Imagine the opportunities Joseph had
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to become bitter. Imagine the knights he could have questioned
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: God's faithful as Yet, through every setback, Joseph continued to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: trust that God.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Was working behind the scenes.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: What Joseph didn't realize was that every pit, every prison,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: every disappointment was preparing him for the palace. The pit
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: positioned him for Egypt. The slavery taught him leadership, The
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: prison developed his character. The delays strengthened his faith. What
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: looked like setbacks were actually divine set ups. Years later,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: when Joseph stood as Prime Minister of Egypt and his
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: brothers appeared before him in need, he finally understood what
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: God had been doing all along. Instead of seeking revenge,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he spoke one of the most powerful decks in scripture.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You intended to harm me, but God intended it all
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for good. Notice that Joseph didn't deny the pain. He
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: didn't pretend the betrayal never happened. He simply recognized that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: God's purpose was greater than the evil that came against him.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: That's a word for somebody on today. The disappointment didn't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: stop God's plan. The rejection didn't cancel your destiny. The
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: betrayal didn't block your purpose. The delay was not changed
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what God has promised. What others meant to discourage you,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: God can use to develop you. What looked like a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: setback can become a stepping stone. What felt like a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: closed door may simply be God redirecting your path towards
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: something greater.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Keep trusting Him in the trouble.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Keep praising Him in the waiting, Keep believing when you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: don't understand. There are suddenly moments in your horizon. Suddenly
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the door is going to open. Suddenly the answer comes, Suddenly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the healing manifest Suddenly, the promotion arrives. Suddenly what seemed
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: impossible becomes your reality. The same God who turned Joseph's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: prison into a palace is still working in your life.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And one day you'll look back and realize that what
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the enemy meant for evil, God was using all.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Along for your good.
• 3:20
