March 28 / Genesis 50

Genesis 50

Dear RTB’ers,

“…you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” (Gen. 50:19b). This verse stands out for me in all of Genesis, second only to Abraham’s offering of Isaac in Genesis 22. Things happen, good and bad, over which we have no control. Our response needs to be to trust in God for whatever outcome and move on. It’s Jesus’ Gethsemane prayer all over again (fittingly, on this Maundy Thursday remembrance day), “Not My will, but Your will be done.” And another variant on Jesus’ words that we need to embrace, “You are God, I am not.”

Have a blessed Holy Thursday!

  1. I’m finding more peace in trusting that God’s will, will be done according to his plan for my life. The only way for me!

    Happy Holy Thursday!

    Thank you, Jesus!
