Being Betrayed

DAY 5 OF 5

God Meant It for Good

Remember the confrontation  between Joseph and his brothers, when the brothers feared recriminations from their powerful brother for the treachery they had committed against him. But Joseph saw a remarkable concurrence at work between proximate and remote intentions. He said, " You meant it for evil; God meant it for good."

The divine intention was the exact opposite of the human intention. Joseph's brothers had one goal; God had a different one. 

The amazing truth here is that the remote purpose was served by the proximate one. This does not diminish the culpability of the brothers. Their intent and their actions were evil. Yet it seemed good to God to let it happen that His purpose might be fulfilled.

About this Plan

Being Betrayed

Betrayal is devastating. It produces a feeling of worthlessness for trusting an untrustworthy person. We respond to betrayal in anger. We seek to get even or make our betrayers suffer for how they've wronged us. In this plan we'll look at what the Bible teaches on how we should respond to betrayals with the prayer to be victorious over your own abandonment or violation of trust and eventually move on.
