The Lord Jesus is able to turn what the enemy makes for evil into a great advance in His Kingdom for our lives, there are many examples in the Scriptures, one of my favorite is the life of Joseph: Sold by his own brothers, slaved in Egypt, imprisoned, but then…. The Lord showed up elevating him to the be the second most powerful man in the existing world!!!!!!

So many powerful lessons from the story of Joseph. He is the greatest “Type” of Christ in the Old Testament, as exemplified by the undeserved forgiveness that he gave to his brothers. He always looked to God for direction.

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬

Yes, multiple examples throughout Scripture. His purposes will not be thwarted.
