28 joseph: God intended it for good

Father we do not know Your plan for our or anyone's lives. We know You work all things in accordance with Your will and good purpose but we can't always see the fruit. Father we know that if we knew our futures that we would mess them up. We would convince ourselves that our plans can be better than Yours. We would avoid suffering, ignoring the many blessings that suffering has brought. So Father I thank You that You know me well enough to keep me on a need to know basis. At the heart of the matter I need to know You, Lord Jesus. I need to know that You died as a payment for my sins so that I can spend eternity with You. You have revealed a history of Your life here on earth and the history of Your hand in the generations before Your earthly life. Father let us remember and rejoice for what You have told us and stop fretting over the things You have not. You have given us more than we can ever fully process. You didn't forget anything. Your word is perfect. Help us Lord to rely on Your perfect word and not on our own understanding.

for the truth has been given freely
