As for you,

you meant evil against me,

but God

       meant it for good,

to bring about that many people

should be kept alive,

       as they are today.

              Genesis 50. 20

(The key words in this verse are

           But God.

God intervenes and redeems

   for His glory

   and for ultimate good.

Do we trust Him in that?

Forgiveness reverberates

     and gets all over everything.

And to be sensitive that

      there is something much bigger

                 going on here.

There always is.

Are we setting our hearts on Him?

"Trust Me in this.")

O LORD,

Help us to see deeper

       by trusting You more,

even in what we do not understand,

even in what costs us,

even when it doesn't seem fair.

You are doing a mighty work

            in our days,

that we wouldn't believe

       even if we were aware.

You are God,

              and we are not.

Help us to have a forgiving heart

     to bring You the glory in this.
