God Meant It for Good is a sermon teaching us that God is in charge. We should have a conviction in our hearts to not commit sin. God is holy, and therefore we should not sin. When we are tested, we should trust God and do right.

When sin entered the world it corrupted us. But it is not what comes into a man, but what comes out of his heart. We have a sinful nature in our heart and we begin to think and plot. We all have this nature. Men may plot to do evil, but God has His own plan.

The path can be difficult and you may feel all alone. It isn’t easy. But know that God is there. You will be faced with challenges and there will be people against you. God will see you through. Our problem is we begin to doubt Him. We need to remember, God is in it with you. We need to take the time to read His Word. Trust and have faith. Joy comes in the morning because God meant it for good.

¹⁹ And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

Also verses from Genesis 41:39-42:

³⁹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 39:7-9:

⁷ And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

⁸ But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

⁹ There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
