Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse: Genesis 50:20 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. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Set Back for a Purpose

The billboard read, "God often uses a setback to move us forward." As I considered these words, I thought about how often I'd seen this truth in my own life. On many occasions, what seemed like a terrible setback at the time, turned out to be a "sendforward" from God.

Joseph must have certainly felt set back when his brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. But later, as an old man, he was able to speak these profound words of forgiveness to his brothers. Joseph had come to understand that God's good purpose was accomplished through the very deed that was meant to bring him harm.

If you're feeling discouraged over an apparent setback in life, remember that God may be planning to use it for a very good purpose.
