What if the worst thing that ever happened to you becomes the doorway to your greatest purpose? Genesis 50:20 delivers one of Scripture's most revolutionary perspectives on suffering and divine intention when Joseph tells his betrayers: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good."

Joseph's journey reads like the ultimate plot twist. Sold into slavery by jealous brothers, falsely accused, wrongfully imprisoned – his life was a masterclass in injustice. Yet through this exact path, he became Egypt's savior during devastating famine. The profound truth emerges: God wasn't scrambling to fix what Joseph's brothers broke; He was orchestrating something bigger through those very events. Two completely different intentions – human harm and divine good – flowing through identical circumstances.

Most challenging is God's timeline. Joseph endured years of suffering before glimpsing any purpose in his pain. While we grow impatient when our prayers aren't answered immediately, Joseph's experience reveals that God's "working for good" rarely follows our preferred schedule. What feels like pointless waiting often serves as essential preparation. Joseph couldn't have effectively governed Egypt without the management skills developed in Potiphar's house and prison. God wasn't delaying resolution – He was developing Joseph's character and competence for a role Joseph never imagined.

God specializes in taking our worst moments and weaving them into our greatest testimony. Not because every bad thing is secretly good, but because God can intentionally use painful experiences to develop compassion, wisdom and perspective we couldn't gain otherwise. Your current struggle might be the very training ground for your future purpose. The plot twist hasn't happened yet, but the Author of your story is still writing, and He specializes in redemptive endings. Trust the process – your journey through the pit and prison might be leading to places you never dreamed possible.
