Seeking Jesus First Jan. 23, 2025

What others mean for evil, God and you can turn it for good. Trust in God and in His word.

“Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 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.” (Genesis 50:19–20, NKJV)

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 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. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” (Romans 8:26–30, NKJV)

Align with God through faith, hope and love.

Be patient in the midst of your circumstances.

Persevere in the goodness of God.

Order your conversation aright.

Pray in the spirit and in the understanding.

Study the Scriptures to see if God has already spoken about your situation or circumstance. Is there a promise that deals with your need? Believe and decree it and give thanks to God for it.

Trust that your circumstance is temporary and subject to God’s promises which are eternal.

Remember, if it is not good yet, it is not over.
