Ge 50:20 "But
as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good,
in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people
alive.
Joseph was a good young man. but bad things happened in his life.
He got betrayed by his brothers. sold as a slave, falsely accused
of rape, imprisoned.
From from first glance, all things were against Joseph but all
these things God allowed to happen to train him and to prepare him
for saving his people his kindred.
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose.
The situational background of Romans 8:28 was that the Romans was
under persecution and suffering. Paul says ALL THINGS [and that
includes sufferings] work together for good to those who love
God.
God can even use bad things for our benefit. In God's economy
things whether bad or good happens for our good. What good?
reading the context.....all things work together for good why? God
is working all things [good or bad] to make us more conformed to
the image of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
NOw, that to me is good indeed. I will be like my Lord.
