God is bigger than our failures

“You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good…”Gen.50:20
Joseph could see the hand of God in his own trouble.
When he became a victim of injustice he discerned the sovereign plan
of God in it.
I’m sure this was an undeniable testimony to his brothers.
God was bigger than their failure.
The Jewish people got offended with Jesus and together with the rest
of the fallen race demanded Jesus to be crucified.
Pilate gave the final verdict and wrote an unwanted title on the cross:
Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. John 19:19
This was not in their plan. They tried to talk Pilate into changing
the text. Pilate answered with the famous words “ what I have
written, I have written”.
Every by passer would be given another opportunity to hear the truth.
We have all the reason to believe that God works in the same way in
our lives today. Even our failures can be turned into victories.
Does Romans 8:28 include failures? Not as a reason to justify them, but as
they are there, why not let God turn them into his victories.
