20 You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result—the survival of many people. (Genesis 50:20 CSB)

God’s plans and our plans can seem to be very separate. Joseph had experienced abuse, abandonment and inprisonment over the course of years. Yet, God was leading up to something great.

When we are in it, it can seem desperate. However, if we will accept God’s plans as better than our own even when things seem bleak God will work it out.

We still need to put in the sweat equity, but God will work for us in these difficult times.
