  Speaker 2: God will turn what was used for evil into good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: He will transform what was meant to be a curse
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: into a blessing. The Bible shares the story of an
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Israelite man in the land of Egypt. Joseph was betrayed
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: by his brothers and sold into slavery. In a foreign
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: land with foreign people and deprived of every right, still,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: he chose to dream and serve the Lord. His confidence
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: came not from self, but from God. For many years,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Joseph's life was stagnant and filled with sorrow. Until it wasn't.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Until God changed everything. In one day, God took Joseph
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: from Egypt's dungeon to its throne. He became second in
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: command to Pharaoh alone. God provided more than restitution. He
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: redeemed Joseph's time and fulfilled his dreams from ages past
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: God turned what was meant for evil in his life
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: into good. This is your moment to bring to mind
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: all your struggles, the dreams long dead and buried deep
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: inside your heart. Confess your burdens to God. Lay everything
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: at his feet. No matter the season you are in,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: there is always a reason to be thankful. Take a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: moment to set aside all hurt and to acknowledge your blessings.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: The dreams and desires you once believed impossible and unattainable, nonetheless,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: God manifested them in your life. Thank God for the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: daily deliverances He grants to you, with you being none
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the wiser. Give thanks for the small blessings, the big ones,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and the ones in between. The reality is, God is
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: good all the time. So thank Him that you can
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: trust He will work all things out for good. Thank
• 6:05

  Speaker 2: the ones still to come. God is present and He
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is listening to you. Be mindful of His promises. Be bold.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: strength and confidence, to convict you of the grace of God.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Ask Him for assurance of the blessings to come, for
• 6:34

• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the good of those who love God, those who are
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: called according to His purpose. When you live your life
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: with God, when you seek to love and obey Him,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: He will bring good out of everything that happens, no
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: matter what. Even the bad stuff, He will give meaning to.
