The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is all Working For My Good

We encounter a story of twist and turns in the most popular book ever written, the Bible. The story reveals a young man named Joseph, of 17 years, who was much loved by His father Jacob, who showed his love, by giving Joseph a very lavish coat instead of all his brothers. This favouritism drew his remaining brothers to be at odds with him. They hated him so much that they wanted to kill him, not only because he was his father’s favourite but also because of his dreams that he would one day become a leader where all his brothers will bow before him.

Eventually instead of killing him, they sold him to slavery. He was carried into Egypt as a slave, where he was bought by Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s official staff. As the story turns, Potiphar’s wife had affection for him, at such a young age where men would be active sexually intimate, Joseph however was un-flinched by all her proposals because of his fear for God. Potiphar’s wife lied to her husband that Joseph was intimate with her, and made matters worse for Joseph who was wrongly accused and thrown to prison.

All the various twist and turns that happened to Joseph were not instigated from God, but rather the actions of Joseph brothers and Potiphar’s wife was as a result of their individual heart condition towards Joseph. This is where the twist and turns gets interesting in that God used all their actions to still get Joseph to the top job in Egypt.

This story reminds us that God never runs out of options and He’s able to use our negative experience in life to work out for our good. Also, life may not work out the way we plan, it’s always full of twist and turns that look as if our life is not worth living, but be encouraged today, don’t write yourself off, your story may not look good now, but God is powerful to use your circumstance to make a beautiful story in the end.

God specialises in making the good, the bad, and the ugly situations of our life work together for our good.
