| God¡¯s Overruling Intent |
|
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Good morning, Don.
D: This morning¡¯s Power for Today tells us that God¡¯s purposes cannot be defeated.
V: That¡¯s right. But I think I need your help with a long phrase.
D: What is it?
V: The phrase is ¡°generated a sequence of events that manifested God¡¯s sovereign oversight.¡± Can you put that into other words?
D: Okay. ¡°To generate¡± means to cause or produce something. A ¡°sequence of events¡± means several events in a row; and God ¡°sovereign oversight¡± is his ruling power.
V: I think I understand now. When the brothers of Joseph sold him into slavery they caused several things to happen that allowed God¡¯s great power to be ¡°manifested¡± (or seen).
D: Great! The author also says ¡°Joseph in retrospect gratefully acknowledged God¡¯s working.¡±
V: ¡°In retrospect¡± means ¡°looking backwards.¡± So, later when Joseph was able to look back and think about all God had done, he was able to see God at work.
D: Absolutely!
V: I think that is how Joseph was able to forgive his ¡°erstwhile¡± (or formerly) hateful brothers.
D: Yes. One of my favorite lines in the whole Bible is what Joseph says to his brothers.
V: What line is that?
D: He tells them, ¡°You intended (or planned) to harm me, but God intended it for good.¡±
V: You know, I sure am glad that God is in control. He¡¯ll help you have a good one.
D: And you too. |
