Most of us are familiar with the story of Joseph, in which he was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, and when they eventually saw him again after a long absence, they were shocked by his ascent to power. Joseph's brothers were worried that he would exact revenge on them when Jacob died, but he reassured them by saying:

Even though you planned evil against me, God planned good to come out of it. This was to keep many people alive, as He is doing now.

Genesis 50:20 (GWT)

Most of us are familiar with the story of Joseph, in which he was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery, and when they eventually saw him again after a long absence, they were shocked by his ascent to power. Joseph's brothers were worried that he would exact revenge on them when Jacob died, but he reassured them by saying:

One key lesson that can be drawn from this is that while God may not change your circumstances, He will change your perspective on how you view them.

Even though his life didn't go the way he expected, Joseph remained faithful to God and held on to God's promises in spite of his circumstances and trials. Instead of becoming bitter over everything and everyone, Joseph saw past his brothers' malicious deeds to see how God has turned everything into something good. If it wasn't because of what his brothers did to him, Joseph wouldn't be in a position to save his family, and the Egyptians, from starving to death and even prospering during the period of famine.

God is faithful and trustworthy.

Never forget that God always has a perfect outcome in mind for you because He always understands what is happening in your life better than you know yourself. Just trust God to weave His purpose into and between the threads of life's contradictions and conflicts, even if He might not act in the way you want or provide you with the solution you need.

Your circumstances cannot prevent God from carrying out His whole purpose for your life. While you may not entirely understand why He permits some things to happen the way they do, you can fully understand God's ability to cause all things to work out for your good and His glory. This explains why Joseph never laid the blame for his situation on his brothers because he recognised God's ultimate love towards him and his family.
