All things work together for good. (Romans 8:28).

‎          ‎This passage is a promise to those who love God and have submitted fully to Him by faith. When we endure suffering in this life, this verse greatly encourages us. God will bring good out of all affliction. The good that God brings about is conforming us to the image of Christ and ultimately bringing about our glorification.

‎          Joseph was treated cruelly by his brothers and sold into slavery, yet in all this, God used the evil action of humans to work out His will in Joseph`s life. The separation of Joseph from his people was under God`s direction. God was working through Joseph and his circumstances to preserve Israel`s family and unite them again according to His promises.

‎          We may be undergoing the same situations like Joseph, but God will direct it and overrule it in order to bring forth His will and to work things out for the good of faithful people. Every evil thought or action will surely turn to good for all who love God.
