Genesis 50:20 ‘But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.’
DAILY READING; • Hebrews 11:23-40; Exodus 15; Proverbs 6:1-7:5
At a street corner in Pinellas Park Florida , in 1960, a 12 years old boy sat waiting for his mother. She had told him to wait there and without knowing that he had been abandoned, he sat waiting for her for the next three days. Countless people walked by this young boy sitting on the street corner, without offering any help. Finally, a Christian man who was on his way to see his son in the hospital stopped and asked him if he was okay. After learning of his situation, the man got him some food, made some calls, and within five hours he put him on a bus headed to a Christian summer camp.
At the camp 12-year-old Bill Wilson heard for the first time about the love of Jesus. One day he went to the altar and offered himself to God since his mother did not want him.
Bill felt God’s love and acceptance from that moment. The experience of knowing he was loved and wanted by God, put Bill on the path to Christian ministry. Years later, he established Metro World Ministry in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Today his ministry is America’s largest ministry to children, with branches in various nations.
Bill Wilson is a well-known speaker, author, pastor and advocate for poor, inner city children all over the world.
Bill’s story shows that your misery can be turned into your ministry and your mess can become your message.
When we refuse to allow past negative experiences to dominate our life and we rather open up our minds to new possibilities, God can use us incredibly.
We have all been hurt and maltreated in life at one point or the other; it is our choice to either wallow in the pain or turn the pain to power.
How we respond to life determines whether we are beaten or blessed, whether we are victims or victors. No matter what confronts us, we must learn to maintain a positive mindset, trusting that God is in control of our destiny.. Through faith in God’s Word, we can change problems into possibilities, and turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
It is God’s will for us to be refined by problems rather than to be defined by them. Indeed rather than let situations of life affect us negatively we should affect them positively. .
Through the help of God, what was meant for evil can become our positive turning point.
Joseph said to his brothers in Genesis 50:20 ‘But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.’
Indeed, God can turn around any situation for our good. The important thing is to remain connected to His Word, because it is the Word that imparts faith into our heart and faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Faith is the key factor for a divine change of story because all things are possible to him that believes. .
Today, as we remain strong in faith and keep giving glory to God, surely, we are coming into our turnaround season where sadness will turn into gladness, mourning will turn into dancing and we will receive beauty in the place of ashes.
PRAYER: Lord, I Thank You for the turnaround miracles You are set to do in my life. I thank You Lord, for going beyond my expectations and doing exceedingly, abundantly, above all I could ever ask, think or imagine in Jesus Name.
